It makes sense in the D&D module why the now dead spellcaster had the book, for he needed it to re-learn his spells for the next day. In this system, why would an arcane caster be carting around a book of spells he already knows?

I don't think necessarily that grimiores are less common. They still serve a purpose to each spellcaster they just function differently. Reviewing notes on older spells likely help you master new ones. If you're a mana nerd you probably keep margin notes in your spell book to help you unlock new levels of mastery in your spell. Grimiores basically serve as magical textbooks and Mages end up studying a lot of magic.
