Because you don't start with Lich Bane in laning phase. Farming up the 3470 gold in lane phase demands that you get fed. Since you're rolling AP, you're probably AP mid.

Which means you're facing an actual hardline AP champ. Most of whom (among the most viable) will out-CC you, if not control lane better than you.

Meaning: You don't get fed. "Rushing" Lich Bane will have to wait until after laning has ended.

So while Lich Bane is nice in lane, IN THEORY, you won't be getting it early except against bots and feeders.
