With the whole ADC meta how come nobody picks rammus/malphite?

So for a while I have just been doing tanky champions. As I like the feeling of messing with people,doing what I want,and still getting an A+ in terms of helping the team. a favorite of mine being Malphite due to his passive 30-90% armor. as with the ADC meta a item 3193 and/or a supportive item like item 3190 item 3050,even a item 3512 if we need to teamfight and defend at the same time as all these items also give armor. buffed to 30-90% so not much is lost in terms of armor. easy to CS with (I own like 4 ADC skins yet I don't play ADC cause I can't CS with some of them...or I just don't care. mainly due to their attack travel time) given Maokai Rumble Teemo being the main AP top laners,and I don't see them often he is rarely a bad pick. plus items likeitem 3193 item 3194 exist. the fearless mastery also helps putting you at like 119% armor with the shield up (and given a Draven does like 110 damage and your shield is like 400 HP...) so,with so much armor how come nobody picks him? Rammus was changed to get 90% armor/50% MR, so he is basically malphite for jungle/more thornmail damage. not mentioning his E,doing about 400 damage full build and lowering attack speed. and with item 3110 item 3143 two FANTASTIC items for his job,he puts a 2.5 AS champion at like 1.1 AS. I just feel like everything is on his side RN for the meta with ADCs and both armor/MR items.

Because ADCs delete tanks too.

everytime i see a rammus they end up just stomping, infact im pretty sure rammus just got a nerf like a patch ago. haven't seen malphite though.

Because lower elo players tend to choose champs that they want to play rather than what is actually good.

Because the ADCs that are popular are because of reactionary picks to hypertanks like Sejuani.

Because meta sheep were brainwashed by high elos after being repeatedly told "play what you want"

Because marksmen still have hard counters against them.
