BV is niche because it is more effective against some chaampions than others. For instance it is very effective against burst mages because possibly they couldn't engage on you with their full combo. I see this especially useful against champions like Leblank and Veigar to name a few.

If they need a full combo to kill and you blocking one spell prevents that it gets increadibly useful as an item. Against someone like Ryze on the other hand it makes little to no difference.
