Why do so many mechs have bird legs?

Are those smoke tubes on the legs? Isn't it a bad idea to have them there

mechs are pretty impractical anyways so who gives a shit
though thick leg designs are cooler

Ostrich can run like 70Km/h and fastest humans can run 40Km/h

I would say it's to protect the joint and center the hefty weight of the front-facing armor in the middle of the leg cross-section. But there's another joint relatively exposed directly above it, so what do I know

Because they are better than human legs

Bird legs: faster
Human legs: stabler
Real reason: looks exotic / cool. Digitigrade or plantigrade legs arise due to evolutionary pressures. If you're making a robot with whatever materials, actuators, and electronic controls you want, you could make legs look quite varied and not be constricted by which animals use what.
