It's because the games will go on for long enough, and you'll notice that the mid will take jungler's wraiths and whoever is closer to golems (top or bottom) will take those a good amount of the time. Junglers gank more in pro team games, so the jungler doesn't farm as much.
Ancient golem stone is really really good on Amumu, because it allows him to build more offensive based items and still be tanky. As in: can go sorc boots instead of having to go tabi or merc treads. Or instead of having to build a frozen heart/randuins, he can get abyssal/sunfire. Sunfire is so OP on Amumu. Most champs can't outduel an Amumu with sunfire.
