They explained this more than a couple times. Missing made you feel weak and it was too easy to bleed make people miss seeing as their were runes, spells, passives, and masteries for dodge rate which could make you untouchable in a fair fight at a really random and inconsistent rate.

Critical Strike conversely makes you feel powerful for doing an incredible burst of damage and is probably a factor in making sure that AD champs aren't all sustained damage champs.

It seems like an oversight but there's some fairly simple logic at play that makes sense.
