Now that said, it would be nice if instead it said:
For the purposes of meeting its prerequisites, your rogue level is equal to your level - 4 (minimum 2).
It's kind of annoying that at level 18, you're getting level 8 feats from your dedication. I thought they figured out that "half your level" doesn't work for cross-class or spell-casting in 1e.
I am firmly in this camp too.
I guess the argument against this is that it lends itself for combo-ing things that aren't supposed to be combo-ed, which could be game breaking. And the designers are tasked with the basically insurmountable goal of trying to balance asymmetrical abilities, so that the options are attractive, but none are "obvious choices."
The nice thing is that, as the primary DM of my group, I don't have to be balanced. I tend to err on the side of letting players feel more awesome, so I'd probably house rule more towards the ruling you indicate.
That's honestly been my feeling on most of the PF Playtest are "There's some really cool stuff here, I just will need to tweak it for my table".
