Contrary to all the "walking hulking armored tanks" misinformation created and propagated by Mechwarrior, battlemechs are actually "just" really scaled up infantry (used for recon, alpha strikes, hit and runs and generally more "guerrilla" warfare operations) and durability is not really their strength. They still get easily fucked by "realistic armor" (i.e. actual tanks and artillery) in more open terrains and dumpstered by aircraft. It's just that the universe is extremely under-militarized relative to the size, scope and amount of human populated worlds, and the battlemechs are the easiest weapons to transport around efficiently.
