1. The US had a muzzle-launched ATGM as well, in the 1960s
2. Range. A Sabot round loses energy pretty quick due to air resistance. A shaped charge is equally effective at all ranges. And the most accurate way to deliver such a charge is a missile. I suppose the idea is to engage NATO tanks at ranges where their Sabot rounds are not effective against the tank's armour.
