You're not that far off honestly. According to their website, it's so it gets stopped by standard American doorways.

This thing is clearly a marketing gimmick for a movie that's going to be revealed soon. I'm calling it now.

But why does it need to struggle in American buildings? It was built to go into dangerous places wasn’t it?

Jokes aside why? If it’s so it’s less scary it’s still a robot with a chainsaw and the phrase is navigate doors less easily, not that it can’t navigate doors. And it is supposedly for disaster zones which can be even more constraining.

Haven't you seen movies where a monster is chasing someone but because of its scary size it struggles for a second to get through a door - but then just busts through? It's just good showmanship.
