OOE, you are correct. We in the "heavy armor" community had a habit of referring to M2s as "baby tanks" when they first came out. & yes, even though it was originally designed to be an Infantry support vehicle, I think it's "nom de plume" today says it all--"Infantry FIGHTING Vehicle."
Doomed from the start, imo.
