Likely also has to do with the fact that when you get first brick bot tower in pro, you normally four man or five man minion crash dive and cause a massive gold swing of 1k+, which can decide the game.

While first brick gold is usually stronger on AD than top, the circumstances surrounding first brick in bot are still important, and the first brick in bot is more likely to involve a large gold swing. A lot of first brick tops are also gotten in first brick races against people trying to get the same in bot lane, and it's done as a response play -- so they're made from a less favorable position.

So while, yes, first brick typically puts a lot of gold on the ADC and accelerates them, it's hardly the only factor involved. The circumstances under which you get first brick in pro are normally pretty game-deciding, regardless of how much gold goes onto the AD because of it.

Ya thats the current meta. Making it hella hard for us top laners. It's all about who has the better adc and if team peels for them.
