"Otherwise, I don't see why everyone still builds this."

It does a lot for very little. It's no longer overloaded with giant piles of stats, but it still grants everything a tanky jungler wants and helps your team. It's still a solid economy item for low gold situations.

"Okay, people were buying it in every game and it was rather a "win-more" item."

Win-more item means the item isn't helping you to leverage a win in the first place, just simply aid you after you've done so. Aegis and Bulwark ramped up your team's ability to secure team fight victories on a level that was only surpassed by getting Baron buff.

"But surely they could buff either the supporting aspects or the personal tankiness aspects to make it one or the other, rather than "it's not very good at either"?"

It's still a great support item. I have no idea how you can call 20 mr, hp regen, and a scaling team shield mediocre. It still going to be bought in every match at some point.
