If you were really anal about it, I guess you could argue that the capability of engineers to ferry units across hexside-rivers should be extended to tanks as well (at least in the MC series), but then we hit the problem that not all tanks were snorkel equipped (Centurion would be one example)
It is a last resort, the commander comes up to the river and the last thing he thinks of is snorkeling, first he thinks amphib capabilities, ferrys and pontoons and when all that is out the window he might think snorkeling and in alot of cases it wouldnt be feasible anyways.
