Because the base stats mean nothing with maim, and as long as the riven has increased crit chance while sliding on it the Scoliac's crit instantly surpasses the Atterax. Don't believe me? I DID THE  MATH!

Taking the formula for the crit chance with maim + blood rush + true steel + 3x combo (no arcanes, companion or focus)

Atterax no riven = (.20*(1+.9)+0.9)*(1+10*3) = 3,968% crit chance

Scoliac with no riven = (.05*(1+.9)+0.9)*(1+10*3) = 3,084.5% crit chance

Scoliac with smallest slide crit chance =  (.05*(1+.9)+1.69)*(1+10*3) = 5,533.5% crit chance

Scoliac with best slide crit chance = (.05*(1+.9)+2.49)*(1+10*3) = 8,012.5% crit chance

Since crit chance over 100% affects crit damage, the bigger crit chance means better damage.

And to top it all off, the Scoliac has the highest whip attack speed and range! Thats why Scoliac rivens go for a bleep ton of plat in trade. Hope this has been educational <3
