Shillelagh - Why no scaling?

[Paul Farquhar]

I can see an interesting Beastmaster Ranger using Shillelagh-ed staff, Primal Beast companion and/or summoned Beast spell, since those will all key off Wisdom.

Actually, the Primal Beast just uses your proficiency bonus, not your spellcasting ability. Summon Beast does though. The monster hunter has an ability that has number of uses keying off wisdom, but the subclass is a bit meh. The Fey Wanderer gets to add their wisdom to charisma checks, so it might make for a good skill monkey.

No, it uses your spell attack modifier to hit.
