Because while the shield IS strong, it doesn't last very long. It's for this reason that Riven often gets Maw: because much as we love it, people learn to just wait for it to end and then kill us. Without any other defensive stats, even considering the size of the window (which doesn't matter if she can't use it because of CC), it can be quite easy for a many a mid-laner to burst her into oblivion.
