I take it you mean Hextech Gunblade. Isn't Will of the Ancients also good?

Perhaps it is because most AP champs have one or more AoE abilities (that also happen to be their main damage ability) and they get only the 1/3 of the value compared to single target abilities. Spirit Visage could help alleviate that but that's 2 item slots already that most of the time, can not be optimal purchases.
