You're ignorance is quite astonishing, bio is much more exciting in SC2 then it was in BW. Its very fast with good damage output but its also very, very fragile, thus you can't brute force most well entrenched opponents, you need to run them apart. The best and most memorable TvT games we've ever seen where either marine-tank wars, like Flash vs Ryung, with beautiful positional play, surrounds and flanks, or it was pure bio vs pure mech, where the bio player does his best to keep the mech player off balance and contained, while the mech player does his best to position well enough to receive attacks and then go for a big death push.
Not saying mech vs mech is boring or anything, but it will become stale quite quickly if it becomes the only standard, it doesn't often as much overall excitement as bio centric styles.

The insult was absolutely necessary, wasn't it?
I Protoss winner, could it be?

I've just honestly never seen why marine/tank is more popular than mech itself. To me it doesn't really make much sense as marine tank is destroyed by tank/hellion (with blueflame) even with micro from the marine tank player. To me, all the exciting marine tank games would have been just as mobile/exciting with hellions in the game instead of marines and if there's no marines in the game it makes air switches so much more powerful.

I'm not ignorant, I'm just saying what I feel. ^^

Noone "plays" marine/tank. You play bio or mech. If it is bio vs bio it becomes marine/tank. It's more popular because bio is much more forgiving and punishing in WoL.
