Look at that, I am Nostradamus, he did exactly what I predicted.

Akali does a pile of magic damage, but Void Staff is less effective on her than it would be on a pure mage, because the considerable Lich Bane add-on damage, plus her autoattacks, plus Crescent Slash, are all 100% physical. She is roughly 25-30/70-75% physical/magical once she builds her core items.

If the other team is piling on MR, you only need a Void Staff if your actual targets are buttoned up to hell, aka the squishies that you are meant to assasinate. Not the tank, not the tanky DPS, because you shouldn't be fighting them unless the need is dire. This is why Sorc Shoes are good, since glass cannon carries and mages usually have 30 MR.

tl;dr, Void is situational, and god help you if you find yourself in that situation, because it doesn't improve your physical damage output.
