In a level where support gets full damage build every game, crazy things happen.

Bad players let you E them freely to half health, then let you jump on top of them at 6 and unleash your ER. I can imagine you having fun vs those. Truthfully though, the build is bad in both its so-so late game outcome and its build path. Cutlass is a sub par item that forces all ADC that 1st buy it (except Lucian & old time Twitch) play passively till they get BotRK. You'll get Gunblade, not even BotRK, which weaken her laning phase further (no trading potential, just all-in, and again, it won't work vs decent players).

Full AP Trist with 500+ AP, magic pen is still called "unreliable, risky" in doing her job - blowing up squishy. So no reason in giving AD Trist some AP and bolster the "jump in the face" playstyle.
