I think you hit on exactly why we didn't see more mobile suits in the show. Part of the theme of the show is that the people in Turn A haven't experienced war and they don't really know how to fight it. Keeping all the action small scale and low key help in creating this kind of impression.

This is one of the great contradictions of Turn A, and it's also why it doesn't fit the other shows the way Tomino thinks it does.
Realistically speaking, a post-technological society will find it extremely difficult to rebuild their infrastructure. One of the big problems is that most of the easy-to-extract resources have already been extracted, so all that's left is the stuff that was uneconomical to get at
for a high-tech society.

"Turn A Turn" was a deliberate attempt to make the same kind of OP that was used for mecha anime in the '70s and early '80s. It's no surprise that it's very different from more modern fare. I happen to prefer both OPs to many of the newer Gundam songs (T.M. Revolution's works among others).
"Tsuki no Mayu" (and "Moon") , on the other hand, is possibly the very best Gundam ED.
