It'd be mostly for eye-candy's sake, and in cases where shore defenses actually did consist of tanks (there were a few such cases, actually).
One of the most annoying things in the game, if you ask me, is that shore defenses cannot be destroyed, as it means that naval vessels can't bombard shore (several battleships lose even to a single light artillery unit).
I've been campaigning for tanks and trucks and jeeps, too, but yes, it seems they're just about as low on the priority list as they can be.
