Because like Eve, Karma, and Leona, it's hard to find a consistent lane/jungle for them in the current rigid meta [mostly because a) only one person farms bottom lane, and b) that's your AD carry, so supports that need farm (Karma) or lose out too much behaving otherwise entirely like the meta supports (Leona) are frowned upon and discarded, and people who really benefit from a duo lane (Poppy/Evelynn for constant support so that they can farm more easily) but don't fit the previous criteria and aren't an AD carry just don't have anywhere to go]. All these champs are good, but don't generally lane/jungle well enough to be consistent, or force you to replace an essential member of your team or similarly lose out on an advantage somewhere. Poppy is probably the easiest to remedy, though. You just have to be insanely good at farming with her and playing with her in general (see Asperon Thorn, that guy is a legend with Poppy), and then you can put her top, or even bot if it's worth putting your AD carry somewhere else or missing out on one altogether, which is drastic, but totally worth it for a good enough Poppy.
