For instance, your criterion of outcome determining doesn't seemt to apply to Tai Shogi: capturing a royal can end the game, but it is not legal for an Emperor (which is a universal leaper, and thus always has every piece in its reach) to do it when the royal was protected. So normally a protected royal is not considered attacked by the opponent's Emperor.

This is covered by the condition that it has to have a capturing move to the space. An emperor does not have a capturing move to a space occupied by a protected royal piece.
