For your sake, I'll disregard all the dick-measuring rhetoric.

"RoA is not that tanky." On Singed, it grants more health than any item in the game short of Warmog's, and costs less than Rylai's. "[RoA is not] a real damage item [...]" It grants 100 AP. I'm not sure how you get more "Real Damage" than that.

I personally don't enjoy proxying, and so don't do it much. If that's a go-to strategy for you, I can see how Rylai's would be helpful for it. There are compositions and situations where the slow on Rylai's is not that helpful, even though it usually is. Rylaiandy's is an excellent combo on Singed, but there are cases where dealing incrementally more damage to the tank is not as helpful as other stats and abilities.

Righteous Glory is a powerful item that helps a lot with teamfighting, but it's lacking in the raw personal stats Singed uses to thrive during small skirmishes. It helps your team engage, which is invaluable, but you can't reliably expect your team to engage with you effectively in all metas.

The premise that there is only one ideal playstyle or build under all circumstances is absurd on its face. There are many circumstances that change a build or a playstyle, and one of them is knowing what the metagame is like at your elo, in your region, in your queue, on your map.
