The general argument is based in the logical break I thought was there with the two skills not being combined. As for changing the stat base, if it works for your table and you enjoy the flavor change, cool. It's a house rule I might even use in some campaigns. However, I believe Paizo should leave it as Dex based in the core rules for both compatibility reasons and for tradition. It also does make a certain amount of sense considering the primitive nature of locks in medieval Europe.
