What's embarrassing is that you consider CDR to be exclusively a utility stat. It is, in essence, attack speed for a caster - and thus is no more or less "utility" than attack speed. CDR used to be exclusive to utility in season 1, wasn't it? They split it into offense so that offense was attractive to both AP and AD (as in season one being a Mage meant taking utility - even runes had no mark option for AP in the beginning. AP, MAgic Pen and CDR were all glyphs).

CDR is in both trees for a very sensible reason.
