We're frequently told that since insulin is a hormone that signals fat storage, we should avoid carbohydrate ingestion. I find it odd that no one says to eat less protein as well given that protein is also insulinogenic, and in many cases, more so than carbohydrate.
What gives?
It also signals muscle building no? It's the primary anabolic hormone in your body.

But say you just want to cut. Shouldn't you avoid protein AND carbs? (Then again, that just leaves you with fat, which is the macronutrient densest in calories, after all).

Insulin affects many things.
