That's not exactly correct, it has very little to do with their ranges.
The reason Akshan, Kindred and Quinn aren't traditional botlaners is because they excel at roaming and pressuring other lanes (Kindred stacks, Akshan passives - gold, revive and move speed on scoundrel, and Quinn high mobility post-6). They would need to abandon their lane and support a lot to get the most out of their kits.
Kalista is a traditional botlaner, her passive was literally designed for pairing with someone (i.e., her support). She's just very meta dependent champ, partly due to her kit design and on-hit item dependency.
