Wouldn't say ADC ezreal is weaker than other ADCs. It's more he's more item dependent than they are. In order to meet them he kind of HAS to have Sheen somewhere in there, unless he's late game Ezreal. Sheen should be picked up (Not built into IBG or Trinity) right after Ezreal completes his first core item.

That said it also depends on what ADC you're building ez as. If you're going for BoTRK you're gonna be weak most of the game compared to adcs like Vayne, MF, and Varus who all have special on hit effects with their W, or compared to a Tristana who has a 90% AS steriod. Ez needs high damage items early to allow him to meet these champs mid game, beef up his Q's damage, and to beef up his ult, which can turn around an entire teamfight. Hence why ADC wise it's likely best to build him like you would Graves or Cait, which is to say: Bloodthirster/IE first.
