The possibility that someone will find a way to exploit the system to do their ninjutsu really fast is extremely minor when compared to maintaining a design we know to be flawed. Mr. Ninja McJazzhands here would still be subject to the 20 second cooldown, so it's not like this lets him do something really degenerate. And if the client won't accept inputs any faster than, let's say, every 0.1 seconds? It's still nearly half a second for each ninjutsu which is perfectly reasonable for a normal person with normal non-jazz hands.
I have to agree, I really don't see how they can exploit the system with the 20 second ninjutsu cooldown in place. You're supposed to be able to cast ninjutsu in 1-1.5 seconds anyways which is less than the global cooldown but with the lag you're looking at going past the global cooldown time which cuts into your dps and if you happen to lag worse than normal, can screw up your entire rotation if the wrong ninjutsu goes off.

Ninja doesn't have a lot of off global cooldown abilities so I really don't see why it would be a big deal even if somebody was able to make it faster than normal with hacks.
