Ahri's AOE and CC are actually fairly weak compared to a lot of other mages mid lane, and her burst is okay, but not exceptional.

She's still one of the best mid laners in the game though.

Compared to other mages, Ahri is just mobile. Shes very skillshot dependant, so its okay for her to have several short range oh shit buttons. But then you have someone like zed who has three flashes...

He also has the most counterplay out of any assassin.

LB has 5, her W, W recast, R copy, R recast, and flash. And 2 out of 5 of those do damage, have a lower cooldown, and proc her q.

I've stopped considering her an Assassin after she lost her damage amp. She is effectively a kiting mage.

Most Assassin's I've seen have little CC, or very Unreliable CC. And not usually paired with Mobility or AoE.

AS for why Assassins have AoE? For wave clear and farming. And why are Assassins allowed to farm wave? Because they are no longer allowed to farm Champions.
