Why, in the advent of militarized drones, are tanks still in use?

There is a certain momentum to the companies that profit from a certain product being produced for the military.
In 1933 when AH came to power in Germany, he could have started converting partially-constructed ships into aircraft carriers, along with existing ships.
He doubled down on the Bismark and Tirpitz as super-battleships. During the war, he did commission two aircraft carriers to be built, but they were not completed in time.
In the final months of Germany’s war, they did develop a large steerable glide-bomb called the Fritz-X, and on its first use, it sank the Italian battleship “Roma”, which was attempting to defect in North Africa.
Now…heavy tanks can still be “useful”, But the days of the tank being the king of the battlefield are long gone.
