You know, I typed up a huge in depth reply that I prefer to do, but then I accidently refreshed this page, so yeah, tl:dr version.

His stun is hard to hit due to the short amount of time that it lasts, meaning you have to go in before it's actually there if you want the enemies to not just walk out of it. This means trying to dash through the enemy team in most cases. If the adc is also playing even somewhat competantly, it's pretty hard to hit, and unlike many assassins, an Ekko can't exactly burst an adc without some pretty large advantage, or a lucky ult, meaning without hitting that you basically will need to ult out.

It's important to note that unless you spend all game split pushing, at some point or another you will end up needing to dive an adc while they have at least one person near them to peel.....unless you're playing against idiots, in which case that's different. Ekko just simply can't do this in most cases, while Zed, Lb, Yasuo, etc, can, while also being able to roam better, have better laning, and not be as limited by mana.

Also isn't jumping in on one target and killing them despite opposition the point of the Assassin class? When they can't do that it just becomes a protect the carry to win meta. Sure there are cases where you shouldn't, but if you do nothing in the middle of a teamfight because there's an enemy next to the adc, you might as well just afk cause you just don't win games with that mentality when playing assassins. Although it is admittably the mentality I wish some faker wannabes had.
