There are two ways to win a war. Have the best weapons, or have the most weapons. Not in all cases, but in a lot of cases the Germans had the technologically superior weapons systems. The Allies simply outproduced them.

I think they’re assuming that the ramp would hit the beach and the troops could storm off. Going over the side was slower, you had to wait for the guy in front to wade out of the way, and you’re jumping into deeper water, not stepping onto the beach.
