They had the penalties to balance out what they deemed as the stronger classes.
Logically.. a hybrid would be stronger than their non hybrid counterpart. In practice, that wasnt the case.. and they realized the game ends up balancing at the end game not the leveling game, so they removed class penalty.
Race penalty was there because of race superiority.
Shared pain was there so a group of friends didn't end up out leveling their troll sk tank friend.
TBH this is one of those vanilla things that shouldn't exist for the same reasons they eventually removed it.
The shared penalty more than anything, people refuse to invite hybrids to groups when there are other choices.

That was an interesting read.
