Not really. Liandry's amplifies your abilities with its passive (BAB also benefits slightly from MPen but eh), BotRK amplifies your autos. Generally Kog wants to be working as heavy artillery with his abilities or tearing through everything at a slightly shorter range with autos. If you buy both, then... well, what then? More AP items? Might as well have gone AP in the first place without the BotRK. More AD items? Sacrificing a spot just for Liandry's isn't really worth when you already have %health magic damage that scales with attack speed as well as MPen, and that spot could've been used on something like IE or Triforce or Shiv... etc. Mix of both? You end up not being able to itemise for anything all that well - W scales poorly with AP, so without the multiplicative stats from an ADC build your autos are worse, and almost everything else is entirely AP scaling but you don't have as much of that, so the results are considerably sub-par.
