The big problem was that by the time the Allies learned how to exploit breaches in the German line, the Germans learned how to fight back against tanks.

The first few times tanks gained victories the allies just sat in their trenches and where like
"Yay we won!"
'Uh, think we should, like, move the infantry over there?'
"Nah, too tired from watching all this fighting, let's do it tomorrow, surely the Germans won't come back and retake the position. I mean, really, why would they do that?"

<germans zero in artillery on the tanks that are just sitting there and charge back into their old positions>

"Well, don't I just look silly right now"
