It may also be because the charging burst mechanic has more synergy with ap mages, who like to run around waiting to unload all their spells often at a much farther range than an autoattack, better than it does marksmen. A marksman who steps in for one autoattack every 5-10 seconds or so isn't doing their job very well but Lux, for example, loves to lay down some heavy poke at long range with her spells and than back off until the CD is up and another opening presents itself. Plus early level Luden's proc will probably be doing more damage than Shiv, until the shiv holder has gained enough levels and crit chance to mutiply it, and a Luden's user likely has more magic pen than a marksman even though both items deal magic damage.
