It doesn't sound like you're listening to Jacks whole elaborate point. Rather you're whittling it down to the fact that it runs contrary to your perception of what a tank is and should do and saying that makes it a hostile point. It isn't, so I'll reiterate:

Doing things like stacking vit doesn't actually make you any tankier, it just gives you more room for more error. If you are already surviving incoming damage without inconveniencing your healer, if you are already maximizing your defensive cooldowns, the only room for further improvement is to hone the part of your kit that you seem to be willfully overlooking.

You can say it's terrible game design if you like, but it's the way tanks are designed in this, and by spurning it you are kneecapping your contribution to your party, assuming you have already mastered handling your defensive abilities.
