The fact that attacking through a Charge means the target automagically loses the fight, or that Charge is an "insane edge."
Warriors must be in melee to do anything at all; even though Paladins (and some Shamans and Druids) need to be in melee combat to do significant damage (or any real damage at all, in the case of Paladins), they're capable of doing other useful things when they aren't (healing in all three cases, nuking for Druids and Shamans, dispelling or cleansing, etc.) Warriors aren't; they're designed to soak damage and cause damage, and they can't do either (except maybe play mana sponge, but what Mage is going to target a Warrior that isn't busily trying to beat their skull in with a giant pig-shaped hammer over a Priest that's healing the Rogue that's busy turning a Warlock into tasty chunky-bites?) if they aren't in melee combat.
Rogues are at their most effective if they're able to attack from stealth - just as Warriors are most effective if they're able to Charge - but that's where similarities end. If a Rogue is discovered before he's able to launch an attack (either through level difference, AE effects, etc), he can either Vanish to get Stealth back instantly (and break binds active on him in the process), or pop Sprint to rapidly close the gap to the target; if a Warrior is placed in combat before he's able to Charge (and this is ridiculously easy to do, as Hunters well know), he has no alternatives besides popping Bloodrage or Berserker Rage (for Fury specs with the talents) and hitting Intercept, which is a vital skill for countering kiters on a somewhat lengthy cooldown.
Additionally, about your Rogue: If your Stealth is broken by an AE, totem, or Warrior shout, you're already in melee range (or extremely close to it); you're just robbed of your opening move (which you can get back with Vanish.) This kinda makes your analogy of losing Stealth against losing Charge kind of like comparing apples and potatoes.
