That is not my experience. Hide then attack only gives advantage if you can attack without exposing yourself first, which you usually can't do after the first round of combat. You would also have to suceed on hide vs passive perception, which is not automatic.I mean I refute the OP's premise that Rogues don't get sneak attack most turns. I can count the times on one hand I've seen a Rogue not get Sneak attack in over 5 years of 5E weekly play.
Also this would presume in 5 years you can count on one hand the number of times you had a Rogue attacking with disadvantage due to being piosioned, attacking in the opponent being invisible, taking dodge etc?
Aim will change this a lot though and would make this Samauri ability largely irrelevant.
