Problem with Support Itemization

As a support (not exactly main) I find this to be very frustrating and is probably one of the factors that cause supports to become an endangered species. I am no Diamond+ player so not everything I said may be completely accurate, this is my personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt.

1. Item Slots: Supports often need 1 or 2 items slots for their gold item or Sightstone, which takes up 1 or 2 item slots. I find this extremely irritating, especially since your are already at a disadvantage for building items that are more useful to the team instead of your individual needs. A support will probably only have 1 or 2 items that are really only their own benefits.

2. Sightstone or Active: Relating to the item slot problem. While everyone else wonders about which damage Item would allow them to one shot the other, support have to choose between upgrading their gold item to get and active or combining it with a Sightstone.

3. Actives: A lot of support items have an active, Locket, Zeke's, Crucible, more actives if you chose to build the gold items that have an active+Sightstone. Making it feel like you have a couple extra abilities that require careful timing and management, since peeling for your ADCs is such an easy job. It feels as if you are trying to play the piano, one hand must have to hit 1-7 (depending on a number of actives), Q-R, and D, F.

I am sorry if my statements are inaccurate. I love to play support, but I would just like to see some changes to make supporting easier and more enjoyable. Thanks for reading the post.
