Spoiler alert it mostly has to do with her kit and the lack of substantial benefits for hand buffing right now.
Mana 1: a 2/1 that can have life steal...like okay but I'd rather play a 2/1 that either puts a chime in my deck or adds hallow power. Hell even omen hawk is a better Kayle card then Kayle's card.
Mana 3: you can have a big elusive dude in a game full of possible big elusive buff targets.
Mana 4: literally a better card in a dragon deck
Mana 5: we will get into this in a second but even if you purifying flame mihira you need to hit a chime on her too. You know what else has elusive and life steal? Sparklefly
Mana 7: not even dignifying with a response.
So okay Kayle's followers suck big dick, but kayle is good, how about her spells.
She has purifying flame...and a invulnerability champ spell...and that's it.
So she literally has less viable cards in her "kit" then a runeterra champion now that's not the end of the world you don't need to play her kit LOR has a massive card pool.
It just seems like a lot of work to run her right now, when there are better options. Specifically if you want a stat stick deck Jax Orn just got buffed and that decks is A easier to build B easier to pilot C less fragile and D more consistent.
Poor kayle I feel like Fox Mulder from the X-Files right now, I want to believe but I can't yet.
