I think it's more like war already going pretty quiet smoothly on Alies favor so US didn't put big emphasis on heavy tank. They were developing Pershing but choose not to deploy them in rush because it still wasn't good enough back then.
On the other hand german always on the edge.

I always love Sherman. let those crowd babbling about Tiger, panther, Maus, etc.
But Sherman (and T34) are design that win the war!
and looking at its suspension and track wide, this is actually pretty advance late war model.
