Why doesn't Kingpin take critical failure damage?

One random thing I noticed a while back that has always bothered me: when using awakened domino as an attacker vs. Kingpin, if I parry him and he fails to purify it, shouldn't he take crit failure damage from domino's sig ability?
Well, spoiler alert: he doesn't. The critical failure never procs.
Can anybody explain why?

When we say Defensive Ability Accuracy Reduction,what it means is
When you hit the opponent, you reduce their ability accuracy. Period. So any ability that would trigger in that frame would be affected . Regardless of whether it is an ability that gets triggered when getting hit or not.
There is no strict classification of any of these abilities as "Defensive Ability" or "Offensive Ability"
So what does Offensive/Defensive Ability Accuracy Reduction/Increase mean?
(Let's just take offensive ability accuracy reduction for simplicity)
So what happens when a champ has offensive ability accuracy reduced? For the time frame that they are hitting an opponent, they will have a concussion (just aar) applied on them. This concussion does not have any way to differentiate between offensive and defensive abilities. It will just reduce the ability accuracy of all abilities. Period.
The same happens for defensive ability accuracy reduction/increase
Herc's immortality can be prevented with offensive ability accuracy reduction even thought it would be classified by most as a defensive ability
