Because Karthus is fucking awful in lane. He is slow, has a horrific frontswing, easy to dodge harass, and is generally useless for the first 5 levels of the game (and no, Requiem doesn't help him much).

Ziggs has a very good harass suite for lane, and is still a premium nuker-mage to boot (he pretty much outmodede Brand. I haven't seen many Brands since Ziggs came out).
