I've always figured it was just a poor excuse for not having Thieves, because it pretty much is. The real reason is probably something more game-y. Personally, I feel there'd be a lot of overlap between Ninja and Thief in the current game. SE has already said a few times they aren't interested in support jobs, and supportive threat management is what differentiates them the most from something like a Rogue.
I didn't play too much of 11, but what is thief without its threat management skills? Just a ninja without magic, basically, no?
