He can do, there's a lot of damage coming from his E when he's built with Trinity Force and he can also be really tanky later on too with a tanky build and also Frozen Heart and Muramana fueling his passive. And of course he's still Blitz so pulling the right people while sieging makes the ensuing teamfight a 4v5 in his favour, and if he misses then he still has Rightious Glory to speed towards people and knock them up.

The reason it's not played is really his potential elsewhere as a support. Blitz would like items as much as the next guy but because of his utility he doesn't really change very much with items or without.
