^ It's because what he brings to the table. Let's say your doing Trial:EX8. That trial itself has so many buff wipes / BB drains. You run Double Avant leads / Avant + Azurai / Avant + DPS lead. First off, he benefits from nuking utilizing critical buff + critical damage. Most endgame content has bosses resisted to this, meaning crit buff + crit dmg is almost useless for negligible damage. BB drain is ok and all but with his 54 BC requirement from empty to full SBB, that's too much, without any BC support buffs / Leader Skill, Avant will have a hard time using his SBB, meaning you stick with his BB and sometimes you don't want to use it (other units provide same buff like him if they're in your squad). Avant's UBB is what makes him the king of damage but with crit resisted bosses and slowly spark dmg resistant bosses, you'll only be using it for the BB dmg up.

TL;DR: '''Avant provides nothing to the squad outside of damage. If you get buff wiped / BB drain / BC fill rate debuff / BC buff decreased debuff, Avant will struggle with his heavy BC cost (that is 1 more than Gazia from zero to full SBB). You bring him for nuking, if you want a mix of nuking and survivability, look at Azurai.'''
