>when most engagement ranges are under the accurate range of the current LMG anyway?
That might be true for regular infantrymen but fof machinegunners it's definitely not. They can engage targets at much longer ranges a lot more effectively than riflemen or even designated marksmen. That's where 5.56 really proves to be anemic and inferior since it loses most of its effectiveness just past a regular infantryman's range. Even 5.56 DMRs are kinda subpar and it's basically nothing when facing a real GPMG.
>and there's not really a reason to replace it due to anything bigger
the reason is that .50 BMG is already at the upper limit of what can be feasibly mounted on a regular pintle socket without any fuss or thrown on a normal tripod. Any bigger and it's going to be too large and heavy recoiling to fit into those roles so you'd need a dedicated mount for that.
