Since IMHO, we should be able to narrow down villains hands much more easily in any form of Omaha, I still make my case that HE has more variance.

Example,

Flop is 345 suited;

In HE, we will seldom think many are playing 56x so we will discount that possibility.  A2s is a real possibility, as would any suited match, So we might play our big PP differently, but probably not muck TT (no suit) instantly.  Not to mention that in HE we were more likely to have raised pre with PP's and there will be few villains.

In O or O8, that is a scary flop no mater what we hold that does not have 2 of that suit.  Add in the nature of all forms of Omaha , that there is likely to be more player seeing the flop, and if we don't hold 56ns at least, or 2 of the suit, we should be slowing way down, if not folding at the first chance. So our TTxx or even AAxx becomes a feeble hand to a pitiful flop.

And that information and knowledge (or lack of) would be at the core of my argument of HE being a game of MORE variance (luck) than all other forms.

Do we need a more precise definition of variance?  I think yes.
