And as we've seen the frames' armor aren't exactly godlike either.

It's not really a question of weapon payload; it's that aircraft aren't particularly good at spotting and hitting moving ground targets unless they're either very low-flying or have long loiter times, preferably both. In the latter case, they become extremely vulnerable to ground fire. It's pretty much the historical reason why enemy ground forces have to be defeated by other ground forces.
