Why is the crust barely visible on scaled drawings of the Earth's cross section?

The crust of the Earth varies from 5-70 km thick which when compared to the total radius of the Earth (6,360 km) is very small, accounting for between 0.07 and 1.1% of Earth's total radius.
To put that into context, if the Earth was the size of a football (soccer ball), the oceanic crust would be the same thickness as one human hair (70 micrometres).
