With regards to starting wizards, maybe not everyone wants that same goblin wizard with maxed out IQ. So, a beginning human wizard for example cannot have spellsniffer.
A book with Detect Magic & Analyze Magic is better than nothing. And since we are saying the wizard is casting this at his leisure, he can cast as many Detect Magic spells as needed to feel comfortable with the results (once per day on same item, see pg 156). Note ideal, but still useful.
Or you don't get Analyze Magic in your book and learn that one instead. Get which spells you want in the book and you get a starting Wizard that is helpful at home and in combat.
