Well usually resources are there to gate highly potential poke, spammable abilies and strong combos (examples for that are Lux, Cassio and Anivia) and Katarina doesn't really have any of that. Her Q poke isn't really all that great, it's low ranged with low damage is her only way to farm safely against ranged opponents. She can't really spam either, the maximum number of E's in one combo is 3 if she doesn't get a kill or assist. And zje strength of her combo is dependant on her feed, needs a certain time and brings damage only (Anivias combo for example brings an AoE stund and an AoE slow and thus is impactfull even if she doesn't have any damage yet).

And imagine if Katarina had mana or energy. She wouldn't be able to use multiple combos in a fight even if she gets the resets and that's pretty much what this champ is about. She would be oom after 2 combos and then wouldn't be able to do anything while standing inside the enemies team. That wouldn't be fair either. Her whole identity of the AoE Teamfight Assassin would go to waste amd Riot would have to give her something to compensate (like CC) and this could end up worse than she is now.
