Why is a potion of invisibility "very rare" and a ring of invisibility "legendary"? Invisibility is only a 2nd level spell. Other potions that mimic low-level spells are much more common.
Also, given that invisibility is such a low-level spell, people will know that it exists in the world, and the defenders of anything really important will have considered it (with the exception of a world where even low-level spellcasters are super rare, but that's not the default).
Invisibility is mostly really powerful in fiction because it's rare or new, and people don't expect it or take precautions against it.
