To say that it's a bad item is an overstatement since it does have MR which would make it a viable alternative to tear if you anticipate a short game where yOu won't upgrade tear (which is usually common because upgrading tear is usually done later). It's for winning trades and getting that extra boost in laning (much like wriggles, brutalizer, haunting guise, old hexdrinker). However, OP saying it's a great item that everyone needs to buy as core is also an overstatement because it, like any other early game item is situational and not particularly godly.
