Well, the point is that the radiation field in the solar atmosphere
*isn't* isotropic (as you seem to be suggesting), so the net effect of
scattering is not zero (after all, the radiation has a net propagation
direction *away* from the sun).
Scattering does not create a net bias where photons can be scattered
away from an observer. If this were true, then the spectra recorded
from the sun would vary depending on your vantage point.
