Could even use it from a balance perspective, I remember hearing how last expansion a Gunbreaker's damage depended quite a bit on if they crit Double Down. If Double Down, as the name implies, hits 2 times instead of just once, outlier runs where no hits crit (or alternatively, all hits crit) would be far less common. Hysho Ranryu (NIN's 1300p skill) could get a similar treatment, hitting 8+ times like BLU's Matra Magic. Would make "I got a lucky crit on a nuke skill" (Something out of the players control) less of a determining factor for damage, so things like if or when you hit the button would matter more (relatively).
in my mind the idea was for aesthetic.. but bringing your point that making each hit crit/direct hit separately is actually a smart idea.
making non auto direct hit/crit have multiple hits some of them crit is not only more satisfying but less frustrating.
