But thats a major factor. Its basically like this.

"Ezreal just based and came back with a Zeal, well fuck, now he can crit me every 10th auto that means in order to actually win lane against him Im going to have to go back and get a zeal for myself as well."

It FORCES you into compromising just so you dont get destroyed by tiny little skirmishes. The first person to buy crit wil instantly have a major advantage because they can count on that extra damage to bully someone around in lane. Yes you can wait the crit out for a last hit, but you cant just wait that stuff out on long range ADC's or ones that have low cost gap closers like Vayne or Quinn.
