I think they just assumed that all Artificers will take the Guild Artisan Background.
To be fair, it is one of the only backgrounds that gets you Tinker's Tools at character creation.
I don't see the reasoning behind giving Artificer's Thieves Tools as their starting equipment instead of Tinker's Tools when those fit the class far more appropriately.

The tools disappear when you use RTftJ again, so you can't just sell them
Yes you can. Make tools, sell/trade, walk away. Wait a while, make tools, sell/trade, walk away.
The tools are normal tools, worth up to 50gp, magically created in 1 hour from an extisting toolset worth as little as 1gp (which is not consumed).
They only vanish when the new set is made. Therefore, profit.
