The ATGM also doesn't have the offensive capability of a current tank so you get what you pay for.

If your goal is to just inflict large cost upon the occupiers until they get bored after a decade then ATGMs are great. If your plan involves routing them with a counter-attack ASAP you'll probably find them lacking.

You also can't carry a tank on your shoulder...
