Same reason Lulu doesn't max out her slow first. Mana costs really high, you'd need to dump a GP5 item for a chalice.

And she doesn't stun, just snares. Being able to catch an opponent but not impact their ability to dish out damage is much less useful than one that does. Nunu's slows aspd, Janna has her knockup, Blitz has his knockup, Taric has his stun.

I suppose the closest comparison would be a hyper offensive Soraka, because they both don't stun/slow aspd. Except a passive Soraka is much easier to use than a Lux that may miss and may overextend and may blow up creeps meant for the AD. Quite simply, most other supports are much easier to use and play passive with, not many people are into trading turtling for lasers.
