"Why isn't this item chosen more often?"

Valor and Promote aren't nearly as useful or versatile as many other passives and actives. In addition, if supports build AP, it's going to be in the form of an item that promotes sustain in their kit like mp5, tankiness, or scales well like liandry's proc damage.

"Someone like heim or malz can pick it up easily, and it won't be useless to swap out later"

Nah, swapping an item out later is generally reserved for ultra long games. By the time you're even considering swapping items out, your current build has made a far greater impact on the game than anything you'll swap it out for. The only real exception to this is typically swapping out boots for something else, usually ADCs buying zephyr.
