Part of the reason that I wouldn't want the lightning critical aspect of it removed is because it's honestly fun to me. Maybe not to other people, but I consider it pretty cool when you move fast and score 'THE LIGHTNING DEALS A CRITICAL BLOW' in a crit fest. Even if it sometimes doesn't do much damage because of fairly specific circumstances, it's just satisfying to see.

This is a biased statement though, since I'm someone that likes playing basic attack crit builds a lot, since I enjoy high risk high reward. I can't speak for other people about what they find fun, but I do think the crit hit part of it is fairly cool conceptually. I won't deny that lightning is strong however.
