A thing about it is how easy the abilities are to use and Q has a small advantage from refreshing the autoattack-timer.

Lee Sin is another AD-scaling assassin, and his bonus AD scaling is 0.3 higher and has 120 more damage from his full-combo in addition to his 2nd Q doing more damage based off health lost - but Lee Sin requires hitting a skillshot on a target (which may not be the immediate target he wants to attack in a busy teamfight), his R requires aforethought to use and not save a target, and his passive encourages spreading out casting his abilities.

Talon's abilities have the luxury of being castable much faster with no downsides (aside from being unable to use his ultimate for an escape if it used for damage), so he's generally going to be damage in a very short amount of time. But it is true his E's damage amplification can be quite significant if he's farmed up and level 16-18 - it's a fairly rare occurance, however.
