I don't see why it matters if something that's obviously a revenge killer can take a hit or not.
Furthermore, both the Choice Scarf and stronger priority exist (Mach Punch from Iron Fist Infernape/Conkeldurr, and Vacuum Wave from MegaCario come to mind, but even Choice Banded priority will wear it down). Further still it was already stated that abilities/items that are physical-contact based completely screw it over more often than not. Rough Skin/Iron Barbs/Rocky Helmet, Pressure (for Sucker Punch, at least), Mummy (which people think to seem doesn't exist) and even Flame Body will cripple it. Heavily. So they pretty much have to run Earthquake in favor of other coverage moves, or switch out every time for what would otherwise be a mild inconvenience.
Have been trying to post this all day, btw. Chances are the discussion was over decades ago.
