Actually it's more than preventing the inevitable. I don't know if you played a lot of fizz lately, but compared to the pre-work he's more reliant on blowing his target in one go than before. That's because the w is super strong in a short window but not so much in an extended fight.

Obviously you're going to die to fizz if you rush zhonya, you get nothing out of it against him except the active, which will hardly save you from dying to q-w combo. Now abyssal scepter is even stronger against him because it has health AND magic resist. But trust me if you look at fizz's counters you usually see champions that have RoA as their core build.
