Why are tanks forced to be hidden?

I personally don't see a problem with the tank equips being how they are (looks and customization). It's not surprising in the least bit that you don't have full customization of every aspect of your characters look, but that's just from a non-bias (realistic) approach.

I think you mean from a completely archaic approach.
