His passive is a godsend tbh, not only does it make it a lot harder for ADs to kill him before last whisper (and sometimes after at full build with a Zhonya's, got a good 200 armour) and it means that any nuking power he needs is all in his spells. If he had a passive that aided his role then his ratios would need nerfing so he wouldn't be the nukefest we all love. Better to have all his mage power in his spells with a safety net passive then to have no safety net but also lose some power if whatever situation the passive works best in isn't available.
