They have scaling because Riot wishes to incentivize building damage on them. That way they can legitmately build a lot of damage (within reason) without constantly having to worry about getting melted because the resident AP carry sneezed on them. Same deal with tanks and how they often have good base offensive stats (eg. Maokai has one of the highest base AD in the game at lower levels).
