This was intentional. If you made the range on the passive was higher its basically always in effect in a fight. They do not want you to be able to use it to start a fight.

The passive kicks in mostly in 2 scenerios:

First, is you are an adc and want to get away from a bruiser or other melee that has gotten too close. It will let you get out of melee range of these champions, then turn on them once you are safe.

Second, you are a melee champ and want to stay within auto attack range to do more damage. Melee champs lose a lot of time getting back in range for the next auto, so it effectively boosts dps by providing the ability for them to stick onto targets.

The passive was not intented to let you start an engagement. Limiting the range to 550 allows for some counter play by the opposing players who want to avoid fighting you.
