Because it was and is a problem. In the past disruptive players played rogues. Thieves in 2E. Not all rogue players, but players who played rogues. Nowadays it's not limited to rogues. It can be wizards who cast Fireball not caring party members are in the area. Druids who wildshape to play a separate Lone Wolf game with the DM passing notes. Bards who charm party members. Barbarians who attack during the middle of negotiations. There are still rogue players who steal from the party.

I agree it's a player thing, but that does not take away the poor reputation rogues get. The class inherited the stigma from how they were played in previous editions.
