@Ulara the US and pretty much everyone in the world became spoiled about how warfare should be fought. Probably there's also the memory of WW2 when entire cities were leveled to 0 in bombings and shelling, so the alternative of carrying an urban fight became more desirable. Despite this, Russia seems to not care about this fact and actually bomb and level entire cities and other settlements to the ground instead.
Another reason is that it is much more interesting and impressive to create some super advanced and costly tech instead of maintaining huge stockpiles of simpler materiel.
@Ulara well, it's more effective to have one shot-one strike than to try getting collateral damage all the way until you hit the target, so getting high-tech in normal weapons does make sense from this point of view.
