Why Half-Tracks? And why "gone" after WW2? (Patreon)

Why Halftracks? Why limited to WW2 only? (Featuring Tank Fest 2018)

Disclaimer: I was invited to Tank Fest by the Tank Museum. Why were Half-Tracks used in the first place? Why not trucks, fully-tracked vehicles or something else? Also, why after the Second World War did the Half-Track disappear? Why were there no new types produced by major powers?
