No one really knows, but best guess is that she's part of the classic old-school Avengers cast, and they haven't done a book like that since Remender's "Uncanny Avengers."
Most writers who like her are fans of the classic Avengers, whch is probably why Joss Whedon got her into the MCU to begin with, and many more writers are X-Men fans than Avengers fans, which is how you get Jonathan Hickman never writing her when he wrote the Avengers, but putting her into his X-Men run as a mutant boogyman.
Scarlet Witch it's in her biggest relevance moment and will be part of another movie next year in the other hand she got nothing in the comic side
I don't think it's just against her, like Gurkle said, the Avengers-office hans't care that much about their classic Avengers except for the ones we all know (Thor, Captain America etc)

I don't think Wanda needs to suffer brutal costs for creating rings and dog leashes. That's not changing the balance and equilibrium of anything. But it makes it harder for writers to work with magic users like her if she can alter reality by saying a few words. What would be the point of having teams of superheroes then? There would be no tension, drama, and conflict in those stories at all. I think greater feats of magic require greater sacrifices on the parts of the magic users for stories to have weight and stakes.
Wanda's powers have always been vaguely defined and change definition with every single writer. I don't think it matters. Power limits are arbitrary and plot-driven, and it's the writer's job to give every character in a team book a chance to use their powers in a creative/useful way, and make up a convincing reason why they can't use their powers to fix everything ("Oh, no, I tried to do X but it didn't work because Y" is the basic formula).
Wanda wasn't a mainstay of the Avengers for decades because she was so powerful (sometimes she was, sometimes she wasn't) but because of things like romance, friendship, struggling to control her powers and learn more about them, etc. Her show understood that; people weren't all that interested in the fact that she could do X new thing that she couldn't before, but her reaction to discovering that she was more powerful than she ever thought.
I don't think any character is ever so powerful that they're unusable, because powers are arbitrary and inconsistent and characters are always less powerful in team books than in solo books. But Wanda's powers have always been arbitrary and inconsistent, so what's keeping her out of comics is not that her power is ill-defined. No one ever knew how her powers worked and she was fine until 2004.
