Welcome to hybrid classes. Lol.
Eldritch knight's problem is not spells because booming blade, green flame blade, and shadow blade are not phb first of all. So you are screwed either way. Second is all about action economy as well as the good war magic locked to level 18. Even if you fix those two things it still contradicts 4 extra attack. Scrolls should be the last thing on an Ek's mind.
Why would a battle master not be using the superior die? You think a single scroll would ever be better than supper die? Read that list. No reason to use scrolls. If you're min/maxing, which I assume is what youe are talking about, it's a sharp drop in dpr. Also assuming a vacuum 1v1. In a team fight who cares which party member sent the spell flying? As a mage the less you are required to use a spell slot the more you can nova an encounter. If you like casters you should be all for this. Not to mention upcast is where the money is. Base spells are just ok most of the time.
So is the problem you have with EK's or wizard domination over martials?
With the right spells wizards can build to better martials than martials that range from 10min to an hour to a full day. Relax. No need for drama. You lose nothing and gain tactical options without relying on resting.
