I am not an expert on this, so take with appropriate salt grains
my guess is because most critplanks don't go
full
damage - they build some tank too. That + oranges + slow on AAs/parrrley gives you teamfight survivability and chase potential that most marksmen don't have. Plus, global aoe soft-cc ult allows you to pick up free gold from assists + the extra gold you get from lasthitting w/ parrrley allows you to build into the heavy items faster than an ADC.

Also keep an eye for setup review requests.

Full AP + Lich Bane on a skill that doesn't scale off AP doesn't actually do more than Full AD + Triforce + 100% scaling + crit.

How much more?
Realistically it's easier for a mageplank build to go squishier because of the W scaling tho.

Spoiler: Critplank Q damage vs. Mageplank entire kit. WARNING, I DID MATH FOR THIS.
Using this build for critplank (I didn't count runes here accidentally, so I don't count them in the AP GP bit either) gives 831 damage on Q without crit. On crits (which is a 55% chance), you do an extra 812.5 damage (that's counting the extra +50% crit damage from IE), plus however much extra damage shiv does.
TOTAL DAMAGE DONE
1,643 on crit + extra shiv crit damage - Q alone
Using a standard full AP build (lich bane, void staff, all three 120 P items) (once again, without runes), you do 554.69 damage on gangplank's Q. You heal for 1086.18 damage on his W, and do anywhere from 310.236 damage to 1016.652 damage on his ult.
TOTAL DAMAGE DONE
554.69 - Q alone
864.926 - Q with one ult hit
1,571.342 - Q with every ult shot hitting
I forgot Luden's here, so AP GP would outdamage with q, if EVERY ULT SHOT HIT AND with luden's proc.
TOTAL HEALING DONE
1,086.18 - W alone

Liandries similarly not crazy about. I guess it could be nice with his ult, though.
When I said Nashors i meant luden's
(liandrys is dope af on him tho)
@ani, cant believe you just did that. Thats awesome.
The difference is pretty negligible (especially if you add in liandry damage), and the bonus of INSANE oranges (legit 1000hp+) makes it more worth to me.
It's a decent difference, maybe 700 vs. 1200 for Q (counting about half of the crit damage).
It's probably smaller than it looks like if you factor in the difference in armor and magic resistance itemization, since the Lich Bane part of AP GP's Q is magic damage. Plus W and R, minus the awful feeling of E being mostly useless.
I'm fairly certain I've played more GP then anyone else on this site (and I used him to go undefeated in both of the 1v1 tournaments organized in this thread). I will share with you two profound GP secrets below!
1: Crit-plank is shit.
2: AP-plank is shit.
