Your statement about his ult wasn't wrong (assuming I'm not misunderstanding the replies about it - he loses his passive stats while his ult is active).

The axe change wasn't just to improve visual acuity, it was also to remove Olaf's melee range power by just hurling it at his feet. Olaf won't sacrifice as much power with your suggestion as he doesn't have to stop autoattacking to pick up his axe again.
