Because they are slow, frail on the special side and have a lot of weaknesses. Also that image rocks.

Water and grass
Water common and scald. Grass resists rock and ground which is a common staple for rock coverage.

Add only resisting itself and you've just described Ice-types as well.

It's an ingame type, not a competitive type. Meant to block all the normal moves the first half of the game throws at you

Rock type is bad defensively because of the x4 weaknesses. If the games would have only x2 weaknesses and 1/2 resistances the game would have more balanced.
All Rock/Steel, all Rock/Ground, fucking Aurorus...
Same with Ice type.

They have the same problem Ice-types have, Game Freak thinks Rock-types should be defensive when they're far better at being offensive.

Basically this. Too many weaknesses to be defensive (even when their typing is double) while most of those Pokémon have defenses as their highest stat and speed as their lowest.

Landorus and those powerful Pokémon can be nerfed perfectly.

Also because their moves have low accuracy an/or power.

How is Landorus the greatest in competitive history? It's only been around in for 3 gens and I don't think it was the best in gen 5 & 6.

Super effective damage needs to be nerfed for sure.
