Non-rogues could sneak and deal with traps/locks in 3rd edition. They couldn’t do it as well as rogues, but they could do it. I played a barbarian who functioned as our party’s budget thief in terms of being a scout.

That is an example of a non-rogue class taking on some functionality of a rogue.

A character in 2nd edition dual or multiclassing as a rogue in not an example of a non-rogue class taking on the functionality of a rogue, as they are a rogue.

Also, everyone couldn’t dual or multiclass into rogue. Only certain classes could. You couldn’t be a rogue / paladin or a rogue / Druid, for example.

Also:

“Everyone could rogue in BG1/2 with dual or multiclass.”

I’d a really indirect way of saying “characters couldn’t “rogue” in third edition without taking levels in rogue,” if that is the point you were trying to make. 😂
