because crit scales off the weapons crit chance  it varies from weapon to weapon. a weapon with only 10% crit chance is only gonna get 23.5% chance to get whatever its crit damage boost is. yet a weapon with much higher base crit would get more. also crit scales off the total damage not the base damage.

also at some point adding base damage becomes less effective than adding crit because the crit is multiplying the weapons total damage while base damage simply adds more for elementals/crits to scale off of. This is why vex armor build on chroma doesnt use base damage mods they stack crit multishot and elementals instead. Same concept on all weapons, eventually adding another 50 or w.e. base damage is not as good as multiplying the damage you already have by crit multipliers.
