It is still a lot of burst for carry to take. But, imo, main reason is that tank malphite isnt really good. His base damages is, like, two times lower than of Maokai, and his only real CC is his ult. So whats the point in being tanky? To reduce AS and MS? Thats not quite enough in many cases, and you dont need to be full tank to make good initiations with ult. So ppl get some AP. Why not AD? Because ppl in common cant build/play autoattack based bruisers. Ppl are not patient enough to see strenghts of AA bruisers, they want to press buttons and see damages, they dont realise that autoattacks, when scaled up properly, is endless source of relevant damage.
