Akali has 2, Vladimir has 2, Kayle used to have 2, Jax used to have 2, Shyvana used to have 4, Syndra has 4... they give people multiple innate abilities when they design a champion that needs multiple effects to be permanently active. In some cases, such as Sivir and Sona, they've opted to sticking the additional passive on the ultimate. All champions with an on-dying passive have a secondary on-living passive (Aatrox's attack speed, Karthus' mana-on-kill, Kog'Maw's attack speed, Zyra's CDR) - I guess that they felt Azir's "towers need to be dead for Azir to use his passive" was as conditional enough as a player dying to warrant a second passive.
