Because unlike most actual Melee Carries, Renekton lacks:

1) AS-Steroid OR AD-Steroid

2) Is HIGHLY skill-based (uses his kit for damage more than auto-attacks)

3) Needs more tank items than any melee carry to do his job.

Some Melee carries are viable but they are fairly rare, or play very similar to Tanky-DPS (Irelia and Olaf are tanky-DPS with strong late-game potential, but not melee carries; Gangplank and Fiora are real melee carries).
