Of course they don't. Because the developers were pretty dumb until around Luclin when they realized maybe the main tanking class should have some real ways of generating aggro.

And as far as leveling goes, pre-60 it only works up to your level. So again, on mobs that it's super important to pull back aggro like a yellow or red con festering hag in Unrest it won't work.

For your run of the mill Sebilis group though yes Taunt works just fine. But in the lower level range you're often killing yellow/red cons together with your group and you'll find it to be ineffective.
What they were shooting for was to have the GROUP learn and participate in aggro management. This is why wars seem strangely handicapped with aggro. Remember, they were into things that would force group dependence. Didn't work out, but I bet that's what they had in mind originally.
