olaf never had to build a single damage item since he got free armor pen, attack speed, and AD. Now, he still gets free Attack speed but he needs to pop ulti for the AD and no longer receives armor pen.

I don't think they wanted to get rid of bruiser olaf, I think they just wanted to get rid of "I can build a little bit of hp and CDR to do well in any situation" olaf. You couldn't keep him down due to his negligible itemization requirements.
