It's because Maokai benefits from everything (sans crit) that Trinity has to offer AND it only takes up one slot so it's not burdensome on him. Really, though, as with anyone (unless you're like Irelia or Nasus and champs like them), you never rush Trinity Force, you would probably just get Sheen on Mao and then build your tank items and then finish Trinity late game.
