Probably due to the look monk and ninja have traditionally had a similar look and always shared a lot of gear for example in FFXI. Bard gear doesn't have the martial arts look to it. The only benefit monk will get from dex being on their gear is some more parry which isn't a big issue because if the monk is tanking because the tank is dead you will die soon anyway.
