No, that's not the reason. If you try to build Death's Dance on Nasus anytime before you've stacked armor you will get one shotted, and then you're just delaying more tank items which you need to survive the walk over to ranged dps/burst champions. Nasus wins because he can get high damage, health, and armor relatively early. A decent Nasus should have at least 400 stacks by 20 minutes, and can kill Illaoi around the 15 minute mark with good farm and a completed armor item, or earlier with just a phage and boots if you're good enough to dodge tentacles with the movespeed.
