The goal of the trap is to zone your enemies away, not nessesarily to get them to walk on it. Hence, if you place them in a line in a lane, you basically sealed off that area from your opponents. Putting traps in the bushes are nice and all, but using them in the open to zone is much better.

Also, they act as a short range Clairvoyance for Caitlyn. IMO the advantages the trap offers mades the AP scalings justifiable. It would be way too strong if it did everything mentioned above AND do AD scaling damage. A EQ followup to a trap would bring the enemy very low.
