Because it scales terrible. 15 damage and 1% missing health each level is very small (and the CD stays the same). Unless you play bruiser top lane Fizz, W is not worth maxing 1st (and not even 2nd)

For mid Fizz, maxing E is standard now. The CD is shortened alot, the damage is huge which helps with waveclear. The mana cost is high, but with blue + sheen, it is manageable.

Then Q second. The damage scale up rather mediocre, but the CD will be shorter.
