Why is Renekton the balance point for top lane?

I remember a bit ago a well written and respected (with red comments, I believe) post that ran down the top things in league that are toxic to the game (from a game mechanics standpoint), and non-resource gated plus innate sustain was one of the top offenders. Renekton is easily one of the worst offenders within this idea, so why is he Riot's balance point for power for the top lane?

Because he's good at it and was designed with the top lane in mind? He's no longer the best top laner anymore though. Riot has brought up to par(questionnably) other champions like trundle.

I've had my fair shair of wins against ren in the top lane with a mage build, so maybe he's just the AD point of balance?
