"AD TF doesn't have the kit to be a carry. Period. He has no steroids" See Ashe.

"He has no notable AD scaling" See Ashe.

"He has a mages Q, supports W, his E is just completely insanely terribly bad, and he has an assassin's R". See Ashe.

Also, TF has the most reliable and shortest cooldown stun of any AD carry (Vayne's is shorter and situational), meaning he works well with anyone else who has a stun (Taric, Sona) or other helpful CC (Soraka's silence for instance). His kit is less robust and certainly weaker than many other carries', and he may well not be viable, but I don't think he's as terrible as you're suggesting.
