The Barrett light 50 is an important weapon, especially for US forces, BUT anti-material rifles were very much around and in use before it came on the market, precisely because there are plenty of things less heavily armoured than an MBT that are very much worth shooting. Compared to either a mortar or an ATGM, you can carry many more rounds, and are much less likely to be located when you fire an anti-material rifle.

I think you may be under estimating the effect of the weapon on the war. It has enough range that the enemy may not be sure where the round came from. Instead of taking out the lead vehicle, the shooter has the option to disable one part way down the column. In Ukraine this gives the Russians a very bad problem because the path they are following is the only one they know doesn't have mines on it. Thus taking out the middle truck, effectively spits the convoy into two groups.
