I'm not sure what you mean be not scalable?

Sorry, I was thinking about invariance to transformations such as scaling, but it seems I'm wrong on this. It thought bezier somehow didn't maintain its exact mathematical shape during transformation.

I can't imagine someone wanting to use the non-uniform rational part of NURBS in a vector drawing tool

The reason for wanting NURBS is its local control property. I fit surfaces together and modifications on one side of the surface will deform the other side, so it will not line up exactly to another surface; there will be gaps. Also a good thing is being able to stitch together surfaces.
