In most RPGs, DEX is often both the normal DEX and AGL. Meaning both hand speed and body speed. Ninjas have both, and rather than add a new stat to the game which would result in a massive change across the board in what each piece of equipment's primary and secondary stats would be, it'd be far easier to just make it run off DEX and save the trouble. Not to mention Ninjas throw Kunai (DEX based), and use hand signs (DEX) to use various Ninjutsu. DEX being their primary stat is pretty much an obvious guess to many.
