I guess back then Riot didn't think that passives should be a Champions trait but rather a Champion extension of their abilities. So Leona putting Sunlight on everyone after a Solar Flare and making his allies attacks stronger while they were CC'd was likely the intended route for Leona Toplane as a "Tanky Innitiator".

However, you can see that in practice, that passive was almost useless till teamfightin occured.
