Again, you could make the same argument about other skills needed for challenging quests.
You can avoid the trap in Ghost: use Cannith boots. The one thing Rogues do that is unique to their class should not be rendered useless but in the vast majority of quests, it is.
This is an MMO: if you don’t want to take one lvl of rogue or artificer, then post an lfm and find someone who can trap. The game should promote grouping by making g class specific skills useful and by making balanced groups more efficient.

But no other class gets this treatment. There are no quests/dungeons that can't be completed unless you bring a Barbarian or a Cleric or whatever. There are a few optional goodies that require an Int rune or a valve that requires 18 str to open or whatever, but that's what hirelings are for. Rogue hirelings require shards whereas every other hireling class can be bought with platinum. This is all by design and it's all predatory and bad.

Id say at R1 level no quest needs healers.
I would agree if finding a trapper for your party would take a few minutes (like in high population games). But in DDO there shouldn't be any deadly, unavoidable traps on the main path.

In a month or so on 64 bit servers we should find it easy to group.

Solo is a perfectly valid and supported way to play, and even if you don't like soloing yourself, you can't make the argument that other should be forced to group, anymore than you should be forced to solo.

Really? Let's assume I'm playing a trapper that is bad in close combat and terrible against casters. No quest should require dealing with melee and casters "because not everyone will have skills against that". So go ahead devs, ALL the quests should be changed to not require any fighting because I'm bad at it and want to play solo! Well, that, or there is always that eternal "why not try at a lower difficulty level?"
And 13 other dungeon designs which Rogues cant manage to ensure a full and varied party.
In a game where most people solo or duo and full groups for leveling dungeons are rare.

and while they are at it...why are the trap boxes always (almost) before the traps themselves??? If I trapped my home or lair or whatever the control boxes would be on the inside of the traps as that is I would be.

Hey folks, if you see a trap that is misbehaving like this, send me a private message with a /loc for it and I'll fix it.

Because you activate your traps on your way out, and deactivate them on your way in
Same reason you hide your spare key under a fake rock in the front lawn, not in your nightstand drawer lol

It used to be that quests with "disarm this trap or die" effects were marked as Extreme Challenge, right? There's that one bridge in Sorrowdusk for example. I got so used to it I mentally read Extreme Challenge as "bring a trapper" before Illithid Invasion.
