Now, I don't know if it's been mentioned, but here's the obvious reason why Coven loses:

You have to pay for it.

This doesn't seem like such a flaw (after all, the cost is only, what, 15 dollars max?) but the thing is most ToS players first came to ToS because for the most part it was free. Coven is a stretch for most players, including me.

The fact that these roles you need to pay for, while you can play as all the mafia (save Hypnotist and Ambusher) for free, obviously gives mafia a leg up.
