In a nutshell it's because Kog'maw is the only ADC that is both the best lategame hypercarry and is also a Trinity Force carry...his kit is alot like Corki's where he can apply multiple Sheen procs in quick sucession (although you have to practice spacing your spells more on Kog, than on Corki to get as many procs as possible) and their ultimates are almost the same. With that in mind Kog can harass Corki with his higher range and their Trinity Force powerspike is almost identical.

What that also means is that damage wise, Kog goes online after his first completed item (Trinity Force) unlike other hypercarries that require 3 items to scale into damage relevancy. After that everything he builds is just piling up on that first item...and each item he builds is a powerspike by itself (Triforce for Sheen procs, Blade for extra % damage, IE/PD for attack speed and crits and LW for extra pen)  because each item gives Kog a different multiplier to scale on, unlike most AD heavy carries that only get 3 multipliers in IE/PD/LW...
