Becouz Merlin also spew passive stars, the idea behind that team is that you want to hit hard, fast, and hit with constant stars,the easiest to understand reason is that neither of those three have any way to avoid lethal damage such as NP therefore Merlin 2nd skill are there to help your party survive through those crisis. but there's several other reason.

1. Waver can't supply passive stars like Merlin, stars are everything in that team, becouz

2. You'll have a lot of Arts crit boosted by Gil Bride arts up, which means you don't ever have to worry bout empty NP bar especially with Merlin NP regen skill,

3. It's bout covering each other weaknes, On defensive side Gil  took care of the def up, while Merlin will heal you and invul for crisis evading. On offensive side Gil and Merlin will buff all atk, Gil will take care of active stars, merlin will cover team with passive stars with some cover from Arjuna when chain broke. Gil will boost team overall damage and NP gain with Arts buff, and Merlin will buff Arjuna Buster NP, Both Arjuna and Gil will potentially give enemy 45% def down or better.

Now if we look at Waver you'll realize that everything he could do alone that team could do it better with more to offer. in that sense losing mere single target crit up are small price to pay.
