Probably because you wouldn't get the Overpressure you need with smaller charges. Miclics are a line charge, so you have a defined area to drive through that you are pretty sure is clear, and they detonate at surface level.
What a fucking dumbass.

25 minute endurance, and transmitting live video/pics from up to 2km away at potentially down to squad level. What a time to be alive.

Precision vs area of effect.
MICLIC charges are basically 1-2 vehicle wide area off effect IIRC in a small area.
Thermobarics are a bit more... indiscriminate. They tend to be a pretty big boom.
