People misremembering. Alternatively, people played FFXI.
Did they change Dark Knight into some super grimdark thing there that I just don't remember? All I can recall of FFXI's Dark Knight is that you had to kill a bunch of enemies with a sword to unlock the class. Everything else I can find on them just reaffirms the whole "at a cost" thing that encapsulates Dark Knights as a whole. Sure, their attacks have "dark and edgy" names, but there's nothing I can find that would create that sort of opinion...
Maybe people just see the word "Dark" or "Darkness" and immediately think horrible things are afoot.
