You've completely missed the reasoning behind the meta...

As a carry, what do you prefer: level 6 and 10K gold worth of items or level 18 and 5K gold worth of items? The first of course, since you're an autoattacker and scale more with items than levels.

Mages and bruisers get quite a large chunk of their damage, tankyness etc. from leveling up, so they get a solo lane to get more XP and therefore more levels.

Result from that: injecting more gold into the game is a buff to carries and therefore a nerf to everybody else. If you add gold somewhere, you'll either have to subtract it somewhere else or hugely rebalance the 114(?) champions.
