It scales poorly, as you've noted - at a given matk value sixfold bolt does respectable damage against the toughest critters, whereas hunter bolt barely seems to scratch them, and is reduced to inflicting stagger - e.g. vs firedrakes. That wouldn't be so bad in itself, but since we have limited skill slots it's better to drop it for a less situational skill. Not to mention quite a few large monsters don't seem to have multiple target points e.g. Daimon, and count only as a single target for this skill, making it nigh useless against them.
