It's more of an argument for how and why Ruby would end up bonding so much with him and looking up to him. If he stopped by once in a while to check up on Tai, Ruby, and Yang while Tai was depressed, then he would've been the closest thing to a functional adult that Ruby had for a while during crucial formative years of her early childhood.

Not to mention, we've seen that Qrow can be playful with Ruby and Yang and will even hang out and play video games with him, so that would be much-needed fun interaction that Ruby may not have received much of from Tai while he was depressed. Depressed people can put on a mask and smile and play, but Yang said that he shut down, so I'm not sure that Tai was wearing a mask or even a convincing mask.
