Meh. It’s not that much a boost really in the grand scheme of things. An extra d6 damage (with a great sword) on a PC with only one attack a round (and they could off hand attack for the same.)The RAW limitation was deliberately put in by the authors to mitigate the Rogue outshining the Fighter.
In order for the Rogue to get a sneak attack every round, the Rogue player has to be working with the rest of the team. The most common case for sneak attack is that there an ally next to the target. So there that.
It’s probably there more to prevent multiclass shenanigans such as reckless attacking barbarians using it.
