Why is that? Are they bad?

The main reason is that you can not use daggers on Rogue in a way you may think,

You can use short swords or rapiers with high DEX to dual wield if you don’t like the d4 daggers, and with two-weapon fighting feat you get damage bonus for your offhand attack as well. All that with Sneak Attack makes Rogue a decent striker. Yeh 5E forcing to take bonus action for off hand attack sucks, but what can we do.
