IMO it's because Vayne has one of the highest skill caps of all the ADCs in League - she is the kind of champion that has the highest potential to screw up, but also the highest potential to completely carry games if used right.

The very fact that she's given such powerful single-target abilities and juking mechanisms is because Vayne has to get within AA range to actually do anything, plus the complete lack of AoE and a stun/knockback that has the potential to backfire horribly if used wrongly.

Riot has stated how they hate such power disparities between high-level players and low-level ones (hell, they're reworking Jayce to improve his usability in low elos and lower his potential in high elos), but frankly speaking, I think Vayne should be left where she is.

I feel that her power is warranted - play her against a really good team and you'll find that it's going to be a challenge to stay alive when people know how to counter you (or just straight out kill you at the start of a teamfight). ADCs like MF and Graves bring a lot of upfront damage, Cait brings range, and Vayne brings high consistent damage at the cost of staying dangerously close to the action.
