Most AP's aren't as devastating in the lategame even with void staff because they have to wait for cooldowns. that's why ranged ad's are the most dangerous people late game because their dps is much higher. there are ap's who scale well into lategame (cassio, ryze, karthus, etc), but that's mostly how it is.

Even so, Xerath's damage in the lategame isn't absolutely atrocious, your poke still does decent damage and your ult does a lot also. You may not be able to carry but you will at least provide a suitable amount of damage in the lategame (if you land at least two ult's and a q on the ranged ad you've done a lot).
