While support Ori has a lot of utility, she really lacks the burst she could be doing if she was AP mid. While Orianna, doesn't have the great ratios, it's made up by her passive which actually do quite a bit of damage. .2 ap per auto +15% dmg stacks up to 3 times, + .6 on her q which you will almost always use together as if you're in range to hit them with a q an auto attack must be manageable. Her utility is beast, especially in the hands of an experienced player. Just need to add those autos in. She also isnt completely useless if she misses her ball, as compared to morgana who's high cd / unreliable snare. Her initiation is way better than morganas, considering its an instant stun / repositioning tool that can throw the entire enemy team off and turn tides. Morgana's ult can be flashed out of or canceled by high mobility characters. Morgana's shield only blocks magic damage as opposed to Orianna's shield which blocks ALL damage, but gives armor / magic resist as opposed to CC immunity.

TL;DR: Orianna is underestimated by fools, and appriciated by the wise.
