The full tank and LAI companies made the total non-artillery point cost high enough to not cause artillery overload. Typically a Bn MEU has a platoon of each, and frequently no LAI at all. The more recent formations don't suffer this much due to the the improvements in LVTs and LAVs, thermal sights dramatically increase their unit cost.

Overall I don't have any real "issues" with the current system tho. I just find it slightly amusing.
