well, the thing with Urgot is that, other than his ult, he's an anti-carry. Now, where would be the best place to put someone who's supposedly made to make the carry's day hell and ensure that they don't get fed enough to carry? Lemme answer that for you... one of three places: Jungle, Support, or Marksman. Problem is, he doesn't have the sustain for Jungling, nor the CC or ability to function on a low budget like a Support. Which leaves him in the Marksman position. But people are way attached to how a normal carry functions that they refuse to let him down there and force him top... he can still do well, but it kinda makes it hard to be an anticarry when you're as far as goddamn possible from the carry, don't you think?

BTW, his primary role is Marksman, so technically he is a Marksman, no matter what people say. Though RIOT could do with some slight kit changes so he actually gets to be used down there...
