Plenty of support champions have AP ratios for utility as well (Nami comes to mind, and I've already mentioned Soraka) so they don't have to be damage-oriented.

The main bonus of the it is still for your ally, so even if you don't have much AP or any need to autoattack that's still a gigantic artificial gold boost for your teammate who actually does get to make use of it.
