It's all well and good saying that it's an inbuilt weakness that chaos players have to live with but the end result is going to be that chaos lists remain infantry and superheavy heavy and all look quite similar.
Are you talking about general play or tournament play? And I am not sure how it follows that a lack of mobile AA leads to people using SHTs.

If you want to see more armour and variation in the chaos lists that people use then the stalker tank is the way to go.
It's just as likely that all you'll see is mechanised lists with lots of Stalkers as well.

As for Oblits being too expensive - Really? These guys are AWESOME.
They are a nice unit but they are expensive and they do force the Retinue they are in into a more static role as they won't fit into transport. Three of them even spread across several formations are almost the same price as a Retinue which means that to get them you are typically giving up an activation in an army that usually isn't going to have a lot of them.
I understand that there is some interest n running a mech heavy Chaos force but the aim of the CSM list always was to be a horde of troops and daemons. Jervis' original discussions of the army used this term quite a lot and so one shouldn't then be surprised that it doesn't create fast mech lists.
Happily there are a lot of army lists that you can use to build a fast mech oriented army list.
