[Star Wars] Why did walking machines become a preference over wheeled vehicles?

With exception to the Clone Juggernaut and the CIS Hailfire Droid Tank, why did people choose slower, lumbering vehicles that can be tripped and overbalanced? Surely this is more impractical in warfare?

Because wheeled vehicles are only practical on roads (which don't exist) and in the open fields, and legs are good for forests, swamps, sandy deserts and basically all kinds of terrain.

The real question must be, considering the ubiquity of repulsor lifts in civilian vehicles, why have ground vehicles at all?
