TBF part of this is because skill checks are weirdly broken depending on the DM. Either the rogue makes the check for the whole party, so two rogues are competing, or everyone has to make their own checks and the rogues don't help the party. Rogues worry more about skill checks than barbarians on average because that was their original role.
Some way to have multiple people contribute to skill checks would be great.
One house rule my group does sometimes its that you can only grant advantage on skill checks with the Help action if both characters are proficient. The DM can just adjust DCs behind the screen.
