Why do we have armor?

So in any situation, any tank, any player, the chance of penning, based on skill or luck is always favored by the player that picks #2 over #1. Therefore, why keep #1 in the game? Seems like case closed to me.   I don't get that "flatter armor" argument as my paper armor tanks regularly get hit with premium. I've noticed it gets more common with higher tiers and seems to have increased over the last couple of years, but that could be anecdotal.   Btw, I never said they should change the price of premium ammo. Seems people can afford it just fine.
