indeed, it also needs luck but mostly it takes intuition to fold when needed for maximum fold, even if you have something good in your hand. See what I mean to say you need some courage to fold a good hand.
and of course it takes patience, more time and energy. Therefore it requires so much time MTTs

You need luck ofc,when you go preflop all in with KK vs AA you need luck to win that,but there are players who belive in luck,that players are gamblers.

Yes. No one wins a tournament without a little luck. I don't care who you are or how good you are at MTTs, luck is always involved. Now, I'm a big believer that skill > luck in MTTs, but no one ever wins with skill alone.
The only reason variance is higher in MTTs vs cash/sngs is because find ourselves in much different situations while in MTTs.
You'll never have to open jam 10 BBs in MP with 99 in a cash game because you can always top off and don't need to worry about rising blinds and antes. Yes, you can find yourself in a similar situations with SNGs, but the difference between the both is the length of time invested into each game. With MTTs, you can easily invest 4-5+ hours multitabling MTTs and still have nothing to show. You can likely play 3-4x as many SNGs (multitabling).

Depends on the player you are because luck comes in play after skills were used.
For players without skills luck is a very important factor.
Skillful players however try to get maximum value outof their hands using their skills, for example reading their opponents and putting them on ranges as accurate as possible.
So for skillful players it's more like being not to unlucky.

Yes, you definitely need luck. But if you can't spot the opportunities and seize them, your luck can be basically worthless 
There is a famous quote, which states, that the more you work, the more luck will come to you. I think there is a book written about this subject. It's called "the luck factor" or something like that
