I think it's because Riot encourage's mage Azir, aka spell casting. That said it is somewhat intentional he has little options to increase soldier dps outside of ability power items. Most attack speed items are horrible on him, and no on-hit effects can be used. The latter a rioter once explained that not procing on-hits with soldiers but spell effects was done to make Azir more mage like.
