No, the stacks are on her indeed, but as you said, the counter is quite obvious.

"Wouldn't it be better to allow it to carry on for as long as she's not attacking?"

That would definitely make her broken. You do understand that you're basically asking for a mana-free AoE 0.8 (yeah, her biggest ratio, notice it please) damage at the exepense of 2 AA's before that ? That would make her ganking too deadly post-6 and her assassin potential late game as an "engage follower" would be absurd. Her passive is precisely a hard-to-master trick and it's indeed usable in a engage follow up if you prepare it cleverly, but having it stay forever would mean no counterplay at all against a 890+2,7 AP combo that takes barely any time to setup and costs so few mana.
