nope you just don't understand powerspikes. However it's weird that usually it's not item that powers up akali, its level 6 with mpen. It's not weird to skyrocket with 2 item. Katarina does that and it's because Gunblade + sorc boots + haunting/ludens does alot of damage in burst. They just happen to synergize with it because they have low CD. Even ahri can kill pretty much anyone with this build but then you don't have ultimate every minute and a half so it is discouraged to do so.

tl'dr. it's the gunblade+sorc+ludens/guise that does high output damage which is build on both katarina and akali (and maybe leb).
