Why is that?

Think about it, since assisted movement is largely used in AvD, and is sometimes unbalanced (It's not exactly easy to stop someone flying in the air that fast, and it's also quite hard to det a CP when they're flying that fast), a sniper is the perfect counter-balance for assisted movement. Also in AvD, both teams will have a sniper, so it's not like playing a small-scale CTF game where you have 1 sniper who can kill pretty much everything and feel secure about doing it. A lot of AvD maps also make it hard for a sniper to get good cover (Ksour is a good example). Snipers aren't nearly as unbalanced in AvD as they are in CTF. That being said, they still need fixing, but I don't see why you'd be opposed to them in AvD. If you get rid of sniper (affecting AvD) you might as well get rid of assisted movement, because then anyone can play demo and launch their teammates across the map with 0 consequence.
