You can't electronically jam a tank. It also forces your opponents to pay a lot of attention to it, taking resources away from focusing on your squishy light infantry.

Don't have to pay attention to tanks if they're all detracked tens of kilometers from the fight by drones.

That is attention you paid to those tanks, resources consumed to deal with them.

(resources that could've otherwise hit an IFV full of guys)
