You're looking at this from a skewed perspective - If you had items for every purpose, the champion picks matter less. Some benefit more from them than others, but if you could just pick an AP maw of mal to make leblanc a bruiser - which I've already seen, and no, it's not fun - you're allowing things that maybe shouldn't.

It's bad enough with tank ekko. With too much item flexibility, optimal roles stop being optimal, because of how stats have diminishing returns on performance the more your specialize. You'll have pseudo-tank assassins everywhere.
