Are you not familiar with min/maxing? It's even in the title of this thread. It means doing everything you can to increase the power of your character, even when the difference is small. Ultimately, there is still a difference because a lot of small differences eventually mean a significant difference.
As a result, STR is beneficial to a Rogue.
Just like wearing a separate haste item from your epic is beneficial as of right now because epic haste is bugged on P99 and not correctly affecting the timer on special attacks.
You might look at it and say "it only negligibly affects backstab damage and doesn't affect auto attacks, so I'm not going to invest money in a separate haste item." Well then you're not a min/maxer, even though wearing separate haste would be beneficial.
Just like STR is beneficial to a Rogue.

You can't compare different things to try and prove your incorrect point.
The thread was started by a 23 Rogue, at every single stage of progression, AC is more valuable to a Rogue than Str. AC offers a meaningful, viable benefit at all levels while Str offers much less. The tiny benefit from huge amounts of Str is nothing compared to taking less damage when you are being hit, having the flexibility to tank or off tank without being hurt, being able to commence autoattack at the earliest moment without significant damage if the first Evade fails and the ability to solo efficiently up to high levels.
