The meta is very important in Diplomacy. If the AI always wins when it gets down to 1 human vs 1 AI, then humans will conspire to prevent that situation from arising. If the human-AI team always wins, humans will conspire to prevent other humans from working with the AI. In the end, I think the reason "an AI" can't be a perfect Diplomacy player is because no one entity can be a perfect player. Once it's known that that entity is "too good" at situation X, the other players will prevent it from getting into situation X.
