I guess what I’m asking is what are the different functions of the two types of vehicles? Why can’t militaries combine them?

Answer: Tanks have really big gun and is made to take really big gun hit from other guys. So in battle, they want to do that. They are built for that, small crew size (like 2-4), heavy armor, big gun, lots of ammo.
APC’s want to move troops. SO in battle they do that. Wheels to move faster than tank, passenger spots ( like 6-15+) and smaller crew (think 2 or 3)
You can’t have both with compromising something, so you loose troop space and armor at the same time, and also loose main gun ammo (since that is huge)
If you have plenty of troops inside of your vehicle, you don’t want to take really big gun hit, cause if really big gun hit kills you, you loose more than 3-4 people.
Keep your tanks Being tanks and your apc’s being apc’s and everyone will be happy.
IFV’s are the compromise, usually not having as much armor as a tank, nor can carry as many passengers as an APC, and also can’t mount a big tank gun (most of the time i believe). so there’s that.
