So you rather have them used as sandbags?
Imo either they have to be used as tank obstacles or remove them form the game.

but wouldn't either option mean they're essentially removed from the game? i mean, who's building tank traps solely to block vehicles anyway?

yes I do rather use them as sandbags. It is a unique green cover after all.

Being "unique" does not really justify their existence, it can simply be replaced by sandbag where needed.
Unless there is balance reason for tank traps to be a better version of sandbags, "unique" does not really cut.

The same way OKW gets reinforced barbwire, USF gets unique "sandbag" which not only provide cover but also can potentually deny enemy armor movement.
Also its questinable really if tank traps are better version of sandbags. While it can sustain more punishment and it can deny armor, it also makes your squad model clumped up and be more vunerable to enemy nades. You can always build two of them near each other to remove this disadvantage, but in this case enemy will be able to use them as cover aswell even if they are built very close to the flag. Aswell as unlike sandbags, you can hear them being built in FoW.
So yeah, in other words, I think USF having tank traps is more of a deliberate chose and unique mechanic, rather then un-untentional feature.

this. Enemy can always use all sides of a tank trap, while generally edges of a regular sandbag is unusable as a cover.
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Doesn't hold true for VPs though. For other resource points sure.

If one faces a vehicles one builds ATG, if one faces units in cover again build ATG...
