Well your opinion is actually highly accurate to what a "true" tank is, but in LoL in a pvp environment, as I said in the last comment, people just aren't going to bother hitting the tank because, well, they are hard to kill, much harder than say, the super squishy Veigar standing behind them.

I put Rammus as the only "true" tank because he can force people to hit him, meaning he can keep his allies safe by making himself soak damage, while most other tanks can typically be ignored.

Mundo, Amumu, and Galio, they are all considered "tanks" in regards to the way this particular game works, since you can't play it like WoW for example and have one beefy guy stand on top of the raid boss and make it hit him just by being there. I understand what you are saying, believe me, but your definition of a "true tank" doesn't fir into the playstyle of this particular game.

Note, I am not being sarcastic or a jerk by putting certain words in quotations, but rather enforcing that they are opinion based terminology.
