D&D 4th Edition was the first edition to ever include mechanics that forced a monster to attack a particular target. This concept never existed previously in D&D, and was introduced after WoW was released because it was a method to attract WoW players back to PnP gaming.

The reason taunt mechanics were unnecessary was because if your GM was enough of a douchebag to coordinate the monsters to focus fire the clothies instead of the big angry barbarian with the battle-axe, that GM quickly found himself without players.
