As it should be, in my opinion. The player character should always be the one in danger regardless if that character has a pet. If they want titan-egi to help the summoner be able to tank a little bit more in cases where the tanks are dead, then they can provide more utilities to titan-egi, but still keep the enmity on the summoner.

That's why I said he would Paladin cover you, which means summoner still has enmity (but titan is 'tanking'). Although I don't necessarily think it always has to be that way in all mmos. I have fond memories of using my pet to tank in WoW. Decently fond memories in FFXIV before the titan nerf. Titan feels bleh in comparison, imo, to the other gameplay mechanics I had experienced (not useless, just doesn't feel quite right as a fun and flow factor). I know they took away because they felt they couldn't balance them, hence why I had the makeshift "not a buffer, but still tanks via cover" concept.

Technically I've even made feedback on the benefits of making them untargetable long before they were made so (at the time people discussing balance issues and potential solutions), so I get it why it might have been changed-- I just kind of like the idea he's tanking over buffing, even if Summoner is the focus / enmity holder. I think at the time it was something like some hp on summon, may need a cooldown or mp cost (just on him), with a damage to hp mechanic such that as he deals damage some of it is converted into his shield for you (so like his ultimate in a pack of monsters would be synergistic). It's a slight QoL change (auto-covers, with hp, as if you had summoned him before he lost his hp bar and he had enmity) and mostly a conceptual change, but yes anyways to what you were responding to I didn't actually change the 'target' while also allowing him to sort of tank (just for the summoner).
