Riot staff have mentioned the problems of creating better item paths for AD casters before.

They're afraid they'll inadvertedly create items better suited to bruisers (spellvamp) or ranged AD carries (+%AD).

Which the Van Damm pillager is a perfect example of. Great item for tanky dps, especially AD caster types, but it's actually not good for Talon or Kha and won't enable Pantheon, renekton, or garen to build squishier.
