I'm sure you know who I'm talking about 
. What's the reason behind this? I'm in no way saying they're op or super strong or whatever. That's not the point. I'm just curious as to why not have them lose something instead of perma stacking and potentially becoming unstoppable in a rare LATE ass game? Cho used to lose stacks and he was fine before, so what changed? Why not apply it to the other 2 champs as well?

Imagine playing as nasus vs someone who can bully him really hard. Or even, imagine being a nasus/veigar who gets giga-camped by the jungler.
You’d basically never get to play the game. Ever.

I get that. But like I said, Cho used to lose stacks and he was still playable / relevant. What changed? Why didn't the others lose stacks?
To clarify, I do not mean ALL STACKS (hopefully that was obvious.) Just a percentage of some sort.

Cho wasn't "fine" before. He worked in some situations but his ability to lose stacks meant once you had a lot you couldn't take any risks. If he wasn't strong enough to hold on to his stacks, he vanished entirely from the meta. And if you ended up getting killed after accumulating your stacks with SIX casts of your ultimate, you then needed to try and not get killed for the next 7ish minutes whilst trying to get your stacks back.
These champions don't get to be dominant in the majority of lanes as a consequence of needing to stack. They lose out on earlygame hard and have a hard time getting a lead to work with. Scaling for lategame is half the fun, and by that stage of the game most champions have answers to the infinite stackers. They're vulnerable to cc, grouping, etc.
