Intended Guinsoo's Armor Pen?

Is Guinsoo's intended to have last whisper passive set at 15%?

I tried to build Lord Dominik's + Guinsoo's and noticed that I would only get 35%, and realized it because they are both unique. It's the same with Void Staff passive.

Why do this? doesn't this just take away from the items gold efficiency if you were to buy either of these items along with Dominik's or void staff?

yes its intentional its so that "hybrid" champions who want pen can get some for both (but at a lower value) without being forced to buy both pen items, while single damage type champions who might like rageblade (any ap on hit champion) cant stack the 2 for massive penetration and be essentially uncounterable
