This is especially true when you consider that Order decreases the likelihood of random events. If you start taking Order (and for most nations, why wouldn't you?), then the benefits of Luck decline. And the appeal of taking Misfortune for the extra points (so you can get more Order!) increases. And then there's the fact that random events can be toned down in the game settings.

With that said, maybe Luck/Misfortune just isn't intended to be as powerful as some of the other scales. Sometimes it can be interesting/useful, which is enough to justify its existence.
