I don't remember ever seeing any specific reason stated but it's probably just balance/flavor reasons. Crit chance modifiers are generally restricted to melee champs (GP's Q, Yi's Q, Garen's E) because building crit on them is harder than building it on a safe, ranged champ.

Ez with a crit modifier on his Q would take away a lot of what Ez, as a champion pick, is, it would water him down too much.

Ezreal is probably the weakest carry at straight up auto attacking down a target but he's really strong at poking from range and keeping that range with his mobility. In order to get the most out of your Ez pick you have to build to his strengths with items like Triforce, BT or the blue build because if you go the traditional IE carry route you'll just end up being a subpar version of any other carry, you can still do it if the situation arises but it'll never be as good as if you just chose a different champion.

If he had a crit modifier on Q then that weakness of his would go away, he'd have strong auto attacking and strong poke, instead of having to choose between the two, and his identity as a champion would diminish as a result.

Sorry if this got rambly, it's late (for me anyway) and I'm tired.
