Other carries don't really care about Armor late, because they build Last Whisper and have triple multiplicative AS/AD/crit scaling on their autoattacks, A tank can have 400 Armor and it doesn't matter, because a properly geared carry just melts them into liquid poo with giant crits. Kayle can't really afford to itemize for penetration because of her hybrid damage, and her crits are never as good as a real carry because crit doesn't work on E.

She does do a lot of AOE damage, but the only people she is beating for single-target DPS are carries without steroids. Kayle is the slowest autoattacker amongst viable ranged carries, so she spends more resources on AS than others do. This leaves less pepper for AD and crit, and it shows.
