Sorcerers have to spec some STR, and even if we go full INT then we must use some STR passives (I use 5/5 STR passive). So I don't think it's unreasonable to say that rogues should do the same. Yes, it means giving up something. But it doesn't have to be damage. You can give up some crit passive points and put those into INT instead.
Please do realize that rogues have an advantage that no other class has:
For warriors, their main stat STR counts towards health & damage (2 items)
For sorcerers, their main stat INT counts towards mana & damage (2 items)
For rogues, their main stat DEX counts towards dodge, crit & damage (3 items)
So your main stat boosts your abilities more than other classes.
