Interesting POV, still it's not that APs have liimted good items it's just that with the amount of AP mids we have the items are categorized into general and situational. Almost every AP champ is built with a Rabadon's but you won't see every Anivia building Lich Bane which would suit Ziggs better. Same can go for Archangel's Staff since your Ryze will almost always buy it while it's not useful at all on Katarina. Abyssal Scepter is a good item but if you're a long range mage like Xerath why would you get it if building hard AP like Rabadon's and Zhonya's benefits you more.
