Mechs suffer from a twofold problem:
1) There's not enough of a niche to demand their use
2) They're too niche to be used
Both of these problems exist, ironically, at the same time, for the military to develop mechs, they would have to have a problem that they just can't solve any other way, because mechs are a very expensive and maintenance heavy platform, and yet at the same time, mechs would have to be capable of fulfilling multiple roles, because the military isn't overly fond of military equipment that can only perform a single function, they prefer multi-role aircraft for a good reason after all.
So with that in mind, when mechs are introduced into a setting, there's no real life 'role' for them to slip into that would justify combined arms, and thus the typical role is...'everything, but better'.
