Because on ADC's it offers no viable stats and will, earlygame, result in an 800 Gold waste

Tanks need to be hit by it with AAs, making skill damage a loophole of weaknesses.

And mages gain significant Offensive stats, some survivability and Necessary Magic penetration.

The gold worth is a question of stats that come by with the item.

Different items are different. Why do AP get flat magic pen while AD have to deal with flat pen that starts out bad and then eventually scales? Why do AP get penetration boots and AD don't?

Morello's a very strong item when it comes to Grievous Wounds. You're looking at any mage that has a DoT in their kit (Or a Liandries) to possibly keep a pseudo-ignite on any enemy champion. Champs that come to mind are Malzahar Rumble Cassiopeia Teemo Fiddlesticks Brand Anivia all of which can apply grievous wounds for a prolonged periods of time without needing to get in immediate danger.
