Why isn't Liandry essential good on kat anymore?
People used to get it awhile ago but now nobody gets it, did it change making it not good on kat anymore?

It's too expensive and doesn't offer enough for the expense in my opinion, it's still a good choice against maybe tanks, but it's just a lot easier to rush something like 
or even 
if you really had to get that early magic pen. I think the idea with Kata is to snowball super early, so having movement speed to help you roam is a lot better over a small burn and hp/magic pen.
Liandry is more of a super late game item if it gets built at all on her, theres just better options to snowball.
It doesn't have a ton of AP and CDR that most other items have. There is no stage in the game to rush liandries over other bursty and defensive items like death cap and zhonyas. Even as a last item the current meta is very CC lock down oriented making Guardian angel better than it. It's just not useful to Kat stat or utility wise anymore for how difficult it is to finish building.
got more ap with more utility that it so it replaced 
as kats hp item (same with RoA for every other ap champ with mana) and other damage items just have too good free utility to not get
movement speed and extra damage cdr items tht hve strong passives and actives nad other stats while only being 20 off of top ap. etc
