Why do all "fun" items have such long CDs?

I just recently got the Ra'Sha's Sacrificial Dagger, and it was actually fun with around a 5 minute CD on it. With the recent nerf to it, now it is on a 30 minute CD, and has a cast time (why does it even need one???) What exactly is the reasoning behind this? I don't really understand why all of these novelty items need such long CDs, when they provide no advantage at all.

Much of the time, 'fun' items are nerfed to prevent an exploit of one sort or another.

Cheaters are why you can't have nice things. Well, they're still pretty nice, just not as often.
