Part of the issue is that SKs suffer a bit in power until they get spells at level 9. I'm sure the other hybrids suffer in similar ways. Soloing is painfully slow until you get to that spot - even then I wouldn't call it fast. It just can be done.
Add in the XP penalty and it's very hard to get groups. People have some serious issues with grouping with hybrids - the penalty hate is very real! People that want to go fast don't want you in there group, period.
Now I made the choice of doing the Troll SK thing again - so I've got a bit of "extra" hate directed at me - but I do like the flexibility of soloing and the extra regen helps out.
