I wouldn't really think too hard about it. There's a ton of Servants whose rarity don't seem to match up how strong they are in lore - others like Amakusa, Jack and Okita probably aren't 5-star material either, Arash, Spartacus and Asterios are much stronger than their 1-star rarity implies, and BB/Passionlip are 4-stars despite being presented as absurdly powerful (though granted, the former seems to be limiting her own abilities).

Meta reason's probably because Medb's cute, so a lot of people will want her, so make her a 5*.
