These are just possible builds you can go if your team lacks AP and that is the way to abuse the loophole. If you are going the same support build for all ap support like nami or soraka, you are just another puppet in the team which are not gonna make any difference in the team.

Of course with a team full AP you can go a normal build. CDR and mana refunding passive make sona so powerful in fight and when not aimed, she can literally substain the entire team with 7s CD heals and 4s CD Q. Rather than 1x reddemption then? with 11/12s W cd what can you do? Items like iron solari may be useful in some situations but totally codemning an AP build just show the lack of knowledge to abuse sona Q,W,E power in a late game fight. You are pratically substaining the whole team and dealling significant damage, not a lot of champions, could do that. Soraka can't, neither can janna and lulu. if you choose to play Sona, abuse her strengths. Just like when you are play lulu, or soraka.

I am not stating that support items are useless, some of them can work well with AP items too. if you just gonna go the standard build for every game, you are then quite narrowed-minded

As long you play safe with adc, and Rod of Ages rush build could work out to be much better than you think.
