I didn't read your guide at all, I simply explained the reasons why most people would downvote your guide, aka your cheatsheets.
The large majority of people looking at guides do not read the guide itself, but look at the cheat sheet. When they see things they don't consider viable or good, they downvote.
I saw Bloodrazor, RoA, AA Staff, etc in your cheat sheet, and pointed them out as reasons for downvotes.
Alright. Thank you for your suggestion: Perhaps I had wrong ideas about the cheat sheet. I will get that edited ASAP. :D

^Iunno about having nothing wrong.
Bloodrazor is a bad item in general, unless you're a farmed and fed Teemo
No dorans at all is bad, extra cost-efficient stats that occupy space you otherwise won't use is always good
Sheen rush is bad (if you're going to rush TF components, Phage is better in 90% of circumstances, also you can't abuse the proc very well as AP Ez
Glass cannon (2nd build) is bad, maw isn't going to save you, especially vs champions like Irelia, Rengar, etc.
Morellos is bad, there are better options
Tear rush is bad (giving a weak early game champion an even weaker early game),
AA Staff is bad (glass cannon, also better options),
RoA is bad especially after Dcap (Ez is a burst mage btw, RoA = no damage),
Athenes is unnecessary (better options).
Some people probably just have mixed opinions about some items. I did say the choices are based off of my personal opinions, as well as experimentations. Bloodrazor IMO is amazing. Shreds tanky teams like Vayne's Silver Bolts does.
The Doran's helps with early game, and we can sell those towards mid-game. The bonuses are actually quite effective for early game, like Doran's Ring. Getting 1 or 2 will help, unless you can have enough gold to rush a B. F. Sword.
Sheen procs off the Q really well. It's really a matter of choice to players. Mystic Shot does a LOT of damage with the Sheen proc.
My cheat sheet builds aren't meant to be "followed". They're meant to display the various types of items that you could consider on the champion. I did say in my guide to not follow the cheat-sheet builds and expect to do well, right?
Morello's Evil Tome might not be as good as others, but the CDR's nice. Considering an early kage's lucky pick helps with gold income, and you probably won't build it into DFG, since Ezreal has decent range, unlike Veigar.
Honestly? I'm not a big fan of Archangel's Staff. I only recommend it to newer players that are having trouble controlling mana usage. I mean, I never get that item anymore, except on Karthus and Ryze.
I agree that Rod of Ages is a bad item for Ezreal. I'm going to change that. I'd only consider it on Gragas or Ryze.
Athene's Unholy Grail is an amazing item. While Ezreal doesn't consume much mana towards lategame, it does provide a large amount of AP, MR, Mana Regen, as well as CDR, all of which benefit Ezreal greatly. At less than 3k gold, it's an amazing buy, IMO.
Edit: After checking, I saw that I never actually recommended Rod of Ages. In fact, I wrote a whole section on why NOT to get Rod of Ages. Perhaps the name of the chapter was misleading, because I originally had "Why not?" when I meant to say "Why not get that item?" I just changed it into a plain "No" to clear things up.
Clearly, you didn't go through all of the text on my guide. Don't go off on random criticism until you hear out my explanations and thoughts. No offense intended.

Explain? I don't think guidewriters would appreciate you voting multiple times.
