Tinhboe and Cat2006house explained it pretty well. In terms of internal logic, it would make more sense to explain Caitlyn's unique attack speed as a reduced base with a level 1 offset, which would make it fit 100% with every other usage of attack speed on the wiki, than to phrase it in the "official" manner by mentioning a reduced attack speed scaling. Currently, there are no effects that modify base attack speed, only effects that use it for calculations (i.e. bonus AS), so doing so also incurs no difference in calculations, while allowing for better overall clarity and consistency.
