Yeah, but give this guy Randuin's and... I dunno, Maw, Mercurial or Visage after (or before, doesn't really matter) his offensive items and he ends up tankier than said Katarina. Compare: 70 armor, 500 health, at least 40 MR and possibly 400 more health from Visage for Yasuo, with Kat's... 50 armor, 45 MR and 300 health. And this is with a (very) spammable movement ability rather than "IMMA BLINK INTO THE ENEMY TEAM AND I'D BETTER GET A KILL IF I WANT TO BLINK OUT AGAIN", even if it is a bit on the slow side. We're also ignoring Yasuo's passive shield.

Add in Mercs which he'll presumably get and he's got at least 65 bonus MR plus Tenacity while Kat tends to build no Tenacity. At this point all Kat will really have on him in survivability is Stasis from Zhonya's, if we assume the brief damage reduction on Shunpo negates the advantages Yasuo gets from the trollwall (which are still pretty huge, very few people can just block targeted abilities and attacks).

So, yeah, not quite glass cannon, unless Kat counts as a glassier one.
