The modern stats are an attempt to isolate performance. Runs matter, because they are all generally built around the concept that more runs equals more wins.
Runs scored is not an especially important stat anymore because it is largely reliant on others. In 1961, Tony Kubek scored 84 runs, while being 10% below the league average bat (OPS+). Bobby Richardson scored 80 runs while being 33% below the league average. They did this, as poor offensive players, because they were allowed to hit at the top of the lineup for the 1961 Yankees. Pretty much anyone who hit in front of Ruth would get 100 runs. Creating runs is the peak of value in the modern stats, but runs scored, since it is not contextual, is not valued much by them.
