AP Ezreal is not shit, it's just worse than AD/hybrid in an extraordinarily large number of situations that you're likely to find yourself in.

You literally need to build a team around AP Ezreal to make it the best choice. You need to get CC from unusual places because you don't have it from AP mid, it has to be a comp that supports poking (aka has the abiltiy to kite, reset enemy aggression, or counter-initiate), and you need to have enough other magic damage such that you keep people honest and don't get killed by the enemy team Armor-stacking against your Lich Bane.

It's a trump card that you roll out in a set team, not something that you bring out in solo queue with random dumbasses.
