Pretty sure that can't be the rationale for the hybrid xp penalty. If it were, druids, chanters, necros would have the biggest penalties in the game.

The exp penalty is because hybrids are more powerful than non-hybrids. Warriors and rogues get exp bonuses but neither is half as effective at soloing. Caster have a 10% penalty. And you have to think of the classic ideology. Chanters didn't solo much. They were a CC group class. Charm was meant as a short term CC. Also, back then pets ate experience solo and even at a small percentage in groups(or at least was intended to). So while they could solo, they got much less per mob. You can get a lot about what they intended by reading the original class descriptions. They really emphasized grouping but made notes on a couple classes about being able to solo.
