And how reliable "if there are minions in his path" is? As a main jungler I'd tell you that after the 3 min mark 70% of the ganks happen when their lane is pushed. Let me say it in another way. Yasuo's lane is pushed in my team turret, my mid is farming quietly and Yasuo is trying to get last hits because he's in a bad position to farm... and is in that moment where most ganks happen.

Other situations include when champs like Sejuani, Zed or Zac make an aggresive gank where you are almost under your tower. What are you going to do, dash FORWARD? What you said makes more sense in top (where is still unreliable) but Yasuo main role will be mid, where the lane is so small that every melee attack will make all the enemy's minion attack you... so dashing to something that is next doesn't make any sense.
