Because that would make it a lot of good in a metagame where Rock Slide reigns king.

Volcarona is banned, Yanmega is OU, Zard is RU but sees some use as a sun sweeper in OU, and nothing else changes.

Also who the fuck uses rock slide anymore? Most people go for stone edge these days.

You use Stone Edge if you want power, you use Rock Slide if you want flinching.

Blaziken can attack while his speed goes up automatically. Volcarona needs to spend its turn boosting stats.

volcarona runs more than just one set, that's the danger about it
if stealth rock didn't exist then every team would run a variant of it because of how useful it is
we've seen what happens to overused pokemon in OU, they go to ubers, a la tornadus-T and genesect

Articuno is fantastic in NU. One of the cornerstones of my team. It would be devastating if I didn't have it.

Could just use Altaria to the same end, but Ice Beam sucks.

Tinted Lens makes the most sense flavor-wise. Drought could also work.

Not necessarily it has to have a benefit, just make sense. It's a moth, moths have compound eyes. So...
