Well someone has to take the fall.
Should it be the guy who's ahead and "secure" the farm to snowball even harder?
Or should it be the guy who's currently behind and we lose the lead if he gets the farm?
The mid laner is the latter in this situation.
There are times where I'm the only one fed and I still see everyone trying to take all the farm. Also if the mid laner is behind and all they offer is damage, it doesn't make sense to completely cut them out of the game. You also have things to think about like if you only have one fed person who is trying to take the farm everywhere and keep anyone else from getting it, you're forced to rely on that only fed person, and when they die your team falls apart. Everyone needs farm, not just one person, even if that person's behind. Having an actual wave or two of farm can make a big difference as well, but if you're going around taking all the kills and all the farm, that person will be forced to be useless to the team due to the 25 gold they get from an assist and that being quite literally all they get all game outside of a few minions after the first tower goes down.
