To be honest, I've never found it troublesome to fight Akali as Orianna--literally at either top or mid. And I do agree that a good Syndra has quite an advantage... Syndra's mana consumption compared to Orianna's allows for more spammability, and she has much higher range.

Orianna isn't really the goddess of mid lane. She is indeed very strong and doesn't have a real counter. Most Orianna's can be outplayed just like any other champion. Her skill cap is pretty high in comparison to some other mid champions, from what I've seen and experienced. To play Orianna more than just well to be considered "dominating" is pretty rare.

Orianna still has a lot of weaknesses... High range and/or mobility [with decent reflexes] tend to make her presence significantly lower... An assassin still has a lot of advantages over her therefore, since they have mobility and usually they can out-roam an Orianna.
