As Willbachbakal said, the change makes the skill more useful overall by passively giving Ashe a bit more income early, while also giving the active portion more utility later in the game. Yes, it should've been that way to start with, but it was designed in a version of the game where it (probably) made more sense.

Should it be maxed first? No but, as you said, new players will try it and realize that it's a bad idea, if not then they'll probably die a lot while their team yells at them. You gotta learn somehow.
