"he scales really well in late game and can become a sort of a semi-carry."

In a support role he'd get nothing to help him out in this respect. You'd have to be super aggressive to get the gold you'd need for items in order to fulfill that role, which would be incredbily risky considering GP has no hard CC and is melee. Plus, as a support you'd still need Sightstone and in the very least shureliya's and an item slot for pink wards, leaving you little room for damage items.
