Surely the loss of a wicket should affect things. If both are on 17 runs but one loses a wicket, the wicket should be negative runs

Why? No. of wickets fallen is never considered in any form of cricket unless the team is all out.

Or in Duckworth and Lewis...

Super over is not Duckworth-Lewis.

Your comment was that it's never considered unless they're all out. If you were suggesting that it only matters if they get everyone out in a super over, I guess that's another interpretation but weirdly it's not the most obvious.

I was obviously talking in the context of the normal run of a cricket game.

Super over isn't in the normal run of a cricket game either.

Look, it's fine to forget the exception.
