So with so many ADC not buying Crit early, why do we still have it?

Here's a list of every ADC that doesn't rush a Crit Item, and prefers a Yommuu's Ghostblade instead in Popular builds:

Lucian Was rather overpowered with the Black Cleaver and Yommuus Rush build until he was nerfed.

Jhin Sometime rushes Yommuus and Duskblade since he already gets guaranteed Crits as well as having them only do 150% bonus damage. Also has massive bonus AD ratios on Q and E.

Quinn Typically Goes Top Lane, but even there it's usually a Yommuus Rush

MissFortune No escapes, and with the Move Speed from Yommuus, can play safer. Black Cleaver stacks easily with her Ult, as well as getting 40% CDR from Black Cleaver, Yommuus, and Duskblade.

Twitch Yommuus move speed and attack speed helps with stealth and poison stacking.

Varus I've seen either a Tear Rush or Yommuus Rush, no Crit items.

Draven Tyler 1 build seems pretty damn good on Draven. Just saying.

Vayne Gosu's build seems pretty good as well. More AD, doesn't need Crit to shred tanks, Move Speed and Attack Speed are much better on her with her ultimate.

So why do we still have Crit?

It's RNG, it's not as good early, some tweaks to Auto Attack Reliant ADC could make it so that they don't need it, and we could get rid of 1% Crit runes as well.

Also, I forgot to mention the other ADC that don't buy Yommuus, but not a Crit item.

Ezreal Tear and Sheen Items, followed by Botrk

Corki Tri Force rush, which does not give Crit anymore

The builds you describe are strong early and fall off late, and the only reason most of them even work at all is because Fervor of Battle has made AS an insanely powerful stat. If Fervor of Battle was nerfed, removed, or reworked, none of those ADCs mentioned would build Ghostblade. Well, Jhin would. Jhin is just kind of a weird design.
