It's been a while for me: I hadn't thought about the RPG-7 threat.

So why AREN'T we buying the bolt-on and putting it on spamcans ?

There are many differing opinions floating around out there. Some people say it's because the wheeled vehicle proponents didn't want to pull M113's out of mothballs and slap on 'off the shelf' bolt on armor that would make their Stryker experiment look like a complete waste of time and money. Other people say it's because the Army procurement people are completely corrupt and incompetent. I'd prefer not to make my personal opinion known regarding what the reason might be.
