For the same reason that Titans exist, or Space Marines, or Chainswords: Rule of Cool. A tank as big as a house with massive guns is cool, so it becomes a thing, logic be damned. It's the same principle all of 40k runs on. "Is a bayonet/infantry rush into close combat viable when everyone has machine guns? No. Is it cool? Yes. OK then it's a thing." "Is a skycraper sized walker with a cathedral on it's back viable? No. Is it cool? Yes. OK, then make them." 40k is all about rule of cool and pure, over the top insanity, with logic being told to sit quietly in it's corner, and 40k is awesome because of it.
