Why is the community so toxic?
Probably because you can have a Ryze go 0-60-2 (average 0-30 over his last 100 games) without punishment, yet it is punishable to ask the enemy team to report this player.

Because this generation spent too much time getting participation trophies instead of getting their ass beat for misbehaving as children.
To Try and keep it short and simple for you. Couple reasons.
First: You explain part of it in your post. A Broken Tribunal system that treats root cause issues the same as consequences of those root cause issues.
For ex: You have 1 player being extremely passive aggressive/toxic and he causes 3 other non-toxic players to be toxic. He is treated the same weight and given the same chances as the other players even though he is clearly the root cause.
Second: Cyber Generation, this is a huge topic I won't go into. If you're interested go read up on Sociology and the difference of this crude/unintelligent generation of kids who really are used to having no consequences for their words online.
Third: The nature of this game is teamwork. Mobas tend to be toxic because your personal stats are at risk from someone who doesn't care about the game at all.
Fourth: Passive aggressive trolling is extremely difficult to catch and oftentimes ignores, it's really easy to figure out clever ways to avoid the banning system and still be incredibly toxic.
and Finally Fifth: It's a free to play game. You have backwood imbred 12 year olds playing with University Master student 26yr olds. The game itself is amazing and everyone wants to play but the community is extremely diverse and like IRL personalities that shouldnt be in the same room together, are and they clash.
because things never change, there's no growth anywhere, and the ranking system is terrible, every game there's some guy / girl who clearly doesn't care about the outcome of the game, doesn't practice, isn't where they belong, but Riot put them there for some reason. and it's not just a bad game, if every game of league ever played has someone having a bad game in it, there's something wrong with the game.
I want to play with better players as I improve, not go from bronze 1 to gold 1 over a year's time and have literally the same quality players sprinkled throughout every few games, there's no consistency, and that's what makes me personally toxic
yes I am a toxic player at times, and I have stopped playing the game by about 90% over the past few months because I'm tired of how much I hate the people i'm playing with despite loving the actual game.
I've stopped viewing people in the community as people i can work with and more as obstacles in my way, often times i feel like the games are a 1 v 9 because some of the teammates i get are either so grossly underskilled or have bad attitudes and give up after a few minutes in.

yet it is punishable to ask the enemy team to report this player.
Because it is the wrong approach. When you catch a kid stealing you want to punish him and teach him a lesson so this young fellow would never do it again, but that doesn't mean you'd hack news channel to broadcast it to the rest of the world and post this on facebook so this kid would be socially devastated for life. I know these 2 cases aren't similar at all, but my point is just because he broke the rules doesn't mean you're allowed to retaliate in a way that breaks the rules. Just report him, take a screenshot, file in support ticket and ask why such a player has gone on without caught for so long while expressing your frustration at riot's detecting system.
The same question on why do people think Donald Trump can make America great again when he can't.
Your recent games show nothing of the sort. You're either making this all up or you're posting on your smurf, both of which give you no merit. If this actually happened, I'm guessing you got punished because you not only asked the enemy team to report him, but you took it upon yourself to flame him, both of which are unsportsmanlike and therefore against the rules.
There's absolutely noting wrong with being toxic. It is a part of the game. Competitive spirit. If you are that sensitive over the internet I suggest seeing a doctor.
