You're not going to get good weapons early or rare accessories etc like you might from stealing from a boss in a single player game for example.

The rogue class is the closest we're ever likely to get to 'thief.'
Have you even checked what "steal" does? You either steal Potion, Grenade or get damage up. Those are not ingame items and they shouldnt be such. In fact, if it was, it would be stupid.
Devs have already proven that you dont need to follow "muh lore" to make a job. "The rogue class is the closest we will get to thief" just because you think that steal gives you real items is just cringe tbh
