comparing them is essential because Tristana is not meant to be built AP. Unlike MF who can be built AP and still use her kit to the fullest potential, building AP on a champ that is not meant to be AP limits her potential ingame. Comparing Tristana to leblanc is unfair because despite having large ap scaling skills Tristana can never be as good as Leblanc in bursting opponents. if you want to just build AP just because the champ has good AP ratio then why not maokai? he has as much burst as Tristana yet you don't see him built as AP? you know why? because they are not meant to be build as AP... That is why Tristana is tagged as RANGED, CARRY... not ASSASSIN, MAGE like Leblanc
