Tanks, especially modern ones, are very expensive and hard to produce. So in peace time or against 3th world countries, you don't need a full armor division. Because there isn't really a well equiped, well trained and battle hardened enemy right now, that will fight ferociously.
Ofcourse, when war does come around the corner, every modern country has plans for a war economy, where massive amounts of militairy equipment can be produced in a short amount of time.
But to be really honest, I absolutely dread the idea of a total war in this day and age... and so does every country. Only a country with a giant militairy, a economic and social instability, and that is in striking distance of weaker, but by NATO guaranteed neighbours posts any treath, as they might take the risk of all out war to save their nation by robbing their neighbours...
But I mean, what is the chance of such a country existing in our time right?... oh wait... we're boned

also, the panzer 1 was mostly used as a training vehicle, but was clearly designed as a combat vehicle. The panzer 1's armor is a nickel allow, meaning it is strong and expensive. A vehicle designed for training, wouldn't have that.
Keep in mind that a tank armed with only machine guns is not a dumb idea, as a machine gun is all you need against infantery (the main target) the panzer 2's main arnament according to the manuals, was the machine gun, while the 20mm gun was only added to provide a Anti-tank capability. Of course the 20mm had some HE shells, which the crew demanded more off as it was really usefull against infantery.
Of course, the production of these 2 vehicles created the basis for a tank industry.
The panzer 3 was not designed to be a universal tank, it was designed to take on tanks, and was only armed with a 37mm because the 50mm gun wasn't available yet. It was spposed to protect the panzer 4 against enemy armor, the panzer 4 being the support tank, taking out pilboxes and entrenched enemies. Of course, we all know the panzer 4 was upgunned to take out the russian heavy tanks, altough the need for bigger guns was first sparked by the encounter of the Char B1 and Matilda in france. This encounter also sparked the need for a propper heavy tank, which would become the tiger 1.
