My opinions are based on the belief that if a melee character's sole damaging ability is a "enpowers your next auto-attack" spell, it should be of an affordable rate. Not many mana-using champions have this, but of all of them that include Jax, Wukong, Nasus, Blitzcrank, Trundle etc, only Talon has an exorbitant mana cost which is a case which confounds me as much as Poppy's.

My only rationalization for this is that Talon and Poppy are both not excessively popular characters and fall into the niche popularity pick as Heimerdinger. Anyone in that pit will be prone to oversight by Riot because just not enough people care. A while back Riot stated that they push out changes in relation to how many people that change will please or big of an issue it is in order to save time and minimise opportunity cost. Poppy and Talon being less popular are thus labeled as low priority and glanced over because a change to them won't have as much of an impact as say.... giving Master Yi an overhaul.
