What Iron said. Coin Flips aren't as fun. You can sort of argue the same for accuracy loss, but there's one difference between Evasion boosts and Accuracy debuffs: it's extremely hard to switch out an opponent spamming evasion boosts. With accuracy loss, you can just switch to another pokemon to eliminate the effects entirely. With Evasion boosts, you can guarantee your opponent is NOT switching out because they're abusing a stat boost, and you can't force them out either with a phasing move. With enough boosts, the chance to dodge is also betetr than a coin flip, which is a terrible combination for a fun competitive environment.
