I think the part you're missing or not giving enough weight is reliable, or you're interpreting what constitutes as reliable differently to how it's intended. The description isn't meant to imply that they lack mobility, just that their target-selection is poor.

I guess another way of saying it would be "these champions lack a means of getting through the front line, but are fully capable of killing their way through it". Fiora can chase anyone, sure, but she usually kills her way to the backline. Likewise, Riven can waste 4 dashes trying to get on a specific target - but that's all her damage and survivability spent.

The grey area comes from the fact that it's easy to flank - i.e. it's not exactly something unique to assassins, so most skirmishers do get to the backline easily. I would agree to take Kayn out, though, he's an assassin in all forms.
