It's true that Architecture decreases the Tarkan's damage significantly vs buildings.

The advantage for the Tarkans in this case is their movement speed, HP, and pierce armor, which units like Champions and Janissaries lack.

Also most people don't research Architecture in a real game either because 1) they forget since it's not usually high priority or 2) their civilization doesn't have access to it.
