Why isn't Nasus E a stun?

Goes up to 95% slow, hell past 60% you might as well be stunned lol Just makes it all the more frustrating when he finally smacks you for that nice 1k damage, should just give him a stun instead, doesn't make much sense to give the player any hope of escaping because lets face it your probably not gonna.

Because the spell you're referring to is his W and not E.
Because 100% slow is a root, and not a stun. Root doesn't prevent someone from casting spells and attack as long as it's not movement related, stun does.

His W, and because it'd remove almost all counterplay. You couldn't attack back, and you couldn't use any ability to get away. As it's a slow, if you have a dash or whatever it still works through the slow. Roots and stuns remove the ability to dash.

Also, because you can still walk no matter how strong the slow on you is. I believe the minimum move speed is 135 or something like that.

Also also, the guy already stomps Yi hard enough as it is, you don't need his W to completely fuck Yi over.

You already barely can attack back, Considering the massive AS debuff, plus the fact he does anywhere from 500-1000 damage per Q, how long do you expect to live for? You have to live for AT LEAST 5 seconds so that debuff will go away, no one in the game who isn't a tank has the CC necessary to stop him from getting to you. It might as well be a Root because 90% of the time you won't get away from him anyway.
