Tanks are cheap to make.


Tanks are expensive to operate. 


Tanks best act as support but can act as a spearhead in open terrain.  Not so much a spearhead in covered terrain, because they become exposed.  Tanks damaged as a spearhead force are often abandoned because they outstrip their support.  By the time you set up logistics for MBTs, your lighter forces have already occupied the same space.  Ultimately you need boots, not tanks, to occuppy space.  When the boots run into meat shredders they call for a tank.  Tanks rolling through developments and neighborhoods really do very little to dispace the enemy.  Your boots are the only force to remove enemy boots with any sense of certainty.
