What you say in the first paragraph is true, currently supports can do fine with the  and the  lines, but then your reasoning behind not granting an -focused support items faulters considering champions like  and  are used as supports and their only utility is damage with just a pinch of CC.

Yes, they are fringe cases of the support pool, but they do exist and so do a couple of supports who would be better served with more  in their itemization, like support   and, and would allow other supports like  and  to have the flexibility of picking just one  item to boost their damage a bit and then continue to build tanky.
