"Feels like it for some reason"? I'll point out the incredibly obvious reason for you.

Garen's spin does more base DPS, has more scaling DPS, and has a lower cooldown than monkey spin. What monkey gets is knockup, speed boost, more total base damage at level 16, and a slightly larger AoE, but Garen has slow reduction and silence CC/speed boost that make him stick pretty well to at least one target and his skill can max at 9 if leveled first or 14 if second (way before monkey king at level 16).

So it's pretty obvious why Garen does more spin damage: monkey's numbers are lower and he's not as good at sticking to a target for the duration of the spin. MK's spin is also worse relative to auto attacks compared to Garen so against a single target you mainly use it for the CC and speed boost to catch up again.
