You're only looking at a single part of her entire kit.

While it would seem like a nice idea, nothing else in Poppy's kit makes her a viable tank. Her Stun is unreliable, Her AoE is nonexistent, and her ultimate can help initiate a fight, but does nothing to protect your team once the battle has begun.

It's hard enough to farm on Poppy as it is, so it's better to build for damage, and let her passive work as a semi-tank for you that costs nothing.
