As soon as the Fox NBC Vehicle got issued a Ma-Duce, it became a de facto cavalry scout vehicle.

Yep. At least the free gun pintle mount the Fox has doesnt hang the belt up every 45 rounds. As recently as a month ago, they were still having feeding trouble with the RWS .50 mount. Kinda reminds me of the M2HBTT commanders cupe for the M48, with a 50-round spool of .50, then time for a reload! Most crews mounted their .50 outside on the Chrysler gun mount instead.

I think I'd rather have a Fox than a Stryker if I ran up against a serious foe. My whole problem with the fiction about Stryker being a taxi rather than an IFV is as follows. If you have the drop on the enemy and define the terms of battle, you can decide where to dismount and where to park the Stryker in overwatch. If they jump you, the Stryker is an IFV if your enemy makes it one. Then, like a bad High School football defence, it will get exposed.
