The only thing cait has in the late game is her range (Which is very good, not gonna lie); her spells fall off so hard lategame, and tanks and assasins can catch up to her with ease. She only has her E as an escape which is rather lackluster due to its CD and slow speed comparing it to others adc's dashes.

Due to her bad sinergy with Blade of the Ruined king, she needs a way to deal with tanks and that's why she got that buff (which imo isn't THAT big of a deal, since it will only apply once every 5 attacks). The buff won't affect her laning at all since it's BONUS armor; nor against mages and adcs late game since they won't have that much of extra armor.

Everyone else you mentioned have better ways to deal with tanks than caitlyn and are way superior than her in the current meta. Lucian and Kalista are kite masters with spells that actually deal damage late-game (Lucian is far weaker than Kalista though; Kalista is also probably the best adc lategame).

Graves and corki don't do well in this meta I agree (but they still have better dashes than her). And trist has her ult + range + her W (idk why you think her lategame is better than Trist considering she has a 90% attack speed buff)

Caitlyn's attack speed is the lowest out of every adc and won't get as much from Attack speed items like others. She does have one of the highest attack speed scalings with a +4%, but due to her low base attack speed; almost every adc will have higher AS than her.

She is not by any means bad, but she's lackluster lategame comparing with most of the others adcs. Probably the only ones that do worse than her in this meta is corki, graves and miss fortune (But those [except mf] have an awesome mid-game which can snowball them and that's why they are still picked by pros sometimes).

This buff is only aimed to help her to deal with tanks lategame and won't be that noticeable, so don't worry about her superior laning-phase nor lower-than-average lategame.

TL;DR: Due to her bad sinergy with Blade of the Ruined king, she relies so much in her early game perfomance to deal with tanks (which is what the buff is aimed for) and this will help her a little (considering its only every 5 attacks). Other adcs have ways to deal with tanks on their kits, and she doesn't. Also, this buff won't affect her already effective laning phase at all, so it won't make her a superior early-game-pick she already is.
