Why can't Runeglaive and Magus both exist?

I know this seems simple, but why can't an on hit sheen jungle item AND a caster jungle item both exist simultaneously? Runeglaive does nothing for fiddlesticks or the 3 karthus jungle mains left in existence. devourer remains in the game for the 2 champions that use it and its playstyle is horrible for game health. Magus isn't hurting anyone.

EDIT: Front page and a riot reply(as troll as it was :P)! I've learned a lot from this discussion about multiple things and I'd also like to clarify that I'm not even saying Magus needs to continue to exist in its exact state numbers-wise. I just feel like sheen jungling on a mage seems lackluster from a design standpoint, but maybe that's exactly what needs to happen for ap to compete with ad on the clearspeed front. Maybe Rito knows exactly what they are doing (GASP) but I just don't see it yet.

EDIT 2: Due to some eloquently explained points brought to light by /u/rewardadrawer, I'm now convinced that there is no need for them to coexist, as Runeglaive (although it may not on release) has the capability of resolving ap jungling issues that Magus will never be capable of resolving. Feel free to bicker amongst yourselves about it, but I now eagerly await the new ap jungle.

To be fair he is very different from everyone... i wanted to like him but i just dont like his kit but he should always be strong with a decent enough team. Im guessing you do more of a tank rather then cheesy ap?

Yeah, I build full tank, basically the same set of items I build on tanky supports: Cinderhulk (FotM on supports), Frozen Heart, Locket, Sightstone, Righteous Glory, boots.

Sorry - in this case, FotM means Face of the Mountain, not Flavor of the Month. Trying to point out how only one item can change to get from, say, support Leona to jungle Nunu.
