It made sense when the job was released in ARR because it was either create an entirely new armor set for the job going all the way back to level 1 (since aiming gear had lower defences at the time) or add the stat to the existing monk sets and seperate the two later (something they already did with casting sets at the time having both intelligence and mind at lower levels)
Seeing how main stats don't influence each other would mean that there is not really any reason to not allow both str and dex be on the same gear. Thinking about it, the main stat in itself is kind of pointless since gear already got another main stat namely ilvl.
