Using Aether as example, compared to 1.35x dmg burst being normalized to next to nothing all the time, I'll take my 30% chance at all or nothing thank you. It's a case of 'nothing and nothing' vs 'nothing OR something'. 20% HP? Sure, take it. 3k HP means nothing in raids and Tower/Dummy events anyway. 'Normalization' is plain laziness. Why bother giving it two parameters (Crit Rate, Crit Bonus) if you're gonna normalize it? Might as well make it a flat multiplier bracket like Special Attack and call it a day. Calling it Crit is a disgrace to the term.

With that I can agree. Critical as mechanic was never supposed to be about average.

If about 10.5% damage increase is next to nothing to you... well, you have about 16.3% 47.2% chance on full burst to deal more damage than that, about 83.7% 52.8% to deal less (that is assuming all members deals same damage). Yes, I can see situations where random crit is better (never said it was universally worse), but I can see some where it is worse. Matter of preference, really.
