However Alistair, Janna and Sona are pretty terrible outside of botlane and basically outshone by Thresh and Leona there in popularity and effectiveness since they can't outzone those two.

The problem with supports is that Thresh already does everything a you want from a support (peel, initiation, light itemization needs, in lane-poke and can save a champion from over a million units away) and Leona offers so much kill potential to your lane partner that the laning fase just becomes a matter of trying to survive all ins instead of an actual fight.
