To me it also seems to be a case of jumping the bandwagon, it's just popular apparantly to easily dismiss the Kubel/Schwimmwagen/Tank Car (I wonder how many actually gave them a chance and adapted their driving style/expectations accordingly).
Another thing is that they need a different context or mindset to be appreciated or even understood for what they are, that's not something everyone is willing to do it seems.
I'll agree that driving a stock Kubel/Schwimmwagen on tarmac is a rather dull experience (at least in a videogame) but when you tune them and spend some time working on a proper set up suited for these cars (not focussing on raw speed which is a pointless pursuit) they become huge fun, especially offroad and offer something nothing else does.
It would be interesting to see some really rough terrain to use these cars in. A time trial on "track" consisting of fallen trees, rocks, and for the Schwimmwagen, a small lake to cross.
