Yeah, certainly agree there. Their use will be more and more limited to niche circumstances. Exploiting breakthroughs and pushing on positions you reasonably believe don't have ATGMs might be their primary purpose going forward.
If we are able to develop an effective weapon to counter drones and ATGMS, it may bring back much of the tank's lost effectiveness. Laser weapons are starting to become a thing and some active protection systems do exist, though it is questionable how effective they are in combat in their current state.
