Me too (or a straight up assassin, fine aswell) but I think they stated somewhere that they intentionally moved away from anything that could be associated with thiefs, thugs etc. so it doesn't look like they're promoting or endorsing criminal behaviour even in fiction.
With how strictly they censor violence and making as much happen off screen as possible and keeping it generally PG it's not surprising. Still a shame, I like a bit of an outlaw image tied to a class. Doesn't have to be really edgy, dark and criminal, just a bit would be enough for me.
NIN is all about control, principles, code of honor, loyalty, duty and so on which is fine on its own ... just not what many people were hoping for when they picked up rogue.
