In my case, I think it probably has to do with the fact that they’re flying in the air, and they need to be as lightweight as humanly possible in order to fly high and better, and that adding armor just weighs them down. Tanks, on the other hand, are ground vehicles, so they’re not as encumbered by their own armor as warplanes and whatever armor they could have equipped themselves with.

Airplanes’ best defense is the ability to not get hit.
Enough armor to stop a .50 round or a missile would be impractical to apply to most of the plane, and is reserved for certain parts of the vehicle.
