Sona had a 77% win rate during the finals (http://www.lolking.net/news/analyze-this-how-viable-are-tournament-picks-in-solo-queue, more than any other commonly-picked champion by far), and has very few weaknesses with some extremely good strengths (no animations outside her ult, DAT ULT, constant AoE buffs, etc.). There's very little reason not to pick Sona unless you want kills -- even then, only if you want them pre-6. I enjoy Sona myself, but I get tired of seeing her every game, especially as I have trouble dealing with her as Lulu.

I also contest the fact that no one wants to play supports. While a minority, there's a very strong minority that prefers support over everything else. Honestly, at my level of play in solo queue, it's significantly more sought after than AD carry. I get it taken from me every third game, or even more.
