No one assembles hunter-killer squads to specifically take out enemy tanks with such a crappy weapon. Instead, you provide them because its "better than nothing" if you happen to run up against an enemy tank.
Furthermore: there are lesser vehicles, such as Humvees and IFVs that have thinner armor where these anti-tank guns would work better against.
-----------
Actual anti-tank hunter-killer groups used guided missiles even as early as the 1960s (with Nazi designs from the 1940s!!!), and today use automated fire-and-forget homing missiles.
Guided missiles have far more range and reliability. Early guided weapons were just a radio (or even a wire attached to the rocket in the earliest designs).
