There isn't really a point. I know it's for the armor, but honestly there wasn't really a point for the armor, either. I don't think they needed it to win that last battle. And that battle is literally all it was for. Maybe Tucker doesn't want to have that much power with him all the time, or just plain doesn't want to look like the Meta, because it probably brings back bad memories. So then what are the AI going to do? Just leave the Meta armor and stay with each of the Reds and Blu- fuck that's what's going to happen isn't it.

But, reagrdless, the AI are just like little imaginary friend dudes at this point. They aren't really necesarry for the plot, and haven't been for a long time (save for Epsilon).
