So what you're saying is deathcap becomes suddenly a bad item on Galio because his MR-AP won't benefit from it?

My understanding was that Galio served largely as a tanky mage with utility and strong teamfighting, at the expense of range. His kit fulfills this very well. His Q is a standard AOE skillshot that slows and does damage, his W brings healing and resistances, his E is basically a Sivir ult, and his ult is a massive AOE CC + nuke. All of these fit that description well - tanky, with utility, AOE, and strong teamfighting.
