Mainly the damage of Q after the buff is too tasty to let go. You're comparing 390 +2.1 per bonus AD with Q compared to 170 +1. Of course Q doesn't hit thrice all the time but in solo top it isn't hard to land either.

You could argue that in the time you pull off 1 Q you could fit 2 W's in and that makes roughly the same damage output though.
