Well through the double scaling of Akali's passive almost every hybrid item is worth on her (only rage blade and gunblade are left but in the past there were also others like the old version of trinity force, but it would be pretty questionable to build this on Akali), as well as hybrid builds. You can literally decide, what you want: either more burst via Ap or more sustain and sustained damage (E and AA's).

Also it's for balance reasons. Imagine it would scale with AP. Akali would be able to go full burst and still heal more than Vladimir could do, without making a trade off. You could give it only a weak AP scaling but the problem wiuld remain if the scaling isn't too weak feel it. In the latter case the whole change would have been pointless.
