because quick based stuff is kinda falling behind in JP server.. that's why. The Reddit thread are probably from her loyal fans. As a note you shouldn't trust appmedia that much, Okita is perfectly good unit so it's fine to get her but based on current roster it's pretty understandable that I rarely saw her as support nowadays.

Based on current support list and roster in JP server there's no real reason to use her if you have other choice. Okita are best put in Quick based team which means she relied on snowballing to maintain the damage, even if hypothetically you can do crit each turns it's only slightly better than single Buster no crit that turn. Meanwhile if you concentrate right with Buster type hitter like Rama and Musashi you can easily get 3 to 5x the damage you can dish out using Quick crit in single turn and potentially kill the boss right away, Musashi in particular have higher damage potential than her without lagging behind in NP gain but Rama are capable of triplling his damage every 4 turns with Warrior Blessing.

On the other hand Saber Arts team have flexibility of mix and match. Their characteristic means they can fill any shoes flexibly depends on demand. for Arts there's 2 saber that similar to Okita as Single Target specialist which is Nero Bride and Lancelot. again those two are pretty flexible, you can use Nero as main hitter as much as a supporter, you can use Lancelot as hitter as much as star puker, you just need to tailor your team for that spesific needs and strategy. This is the advantage of Arts team, which IMO Is the most expensive type of team to have in exchange for strategic flexibility. You can go full tank, you can go heal-hit, you can go crit spree or you can simply mad-buff one servant to victory, it's all up to you.
