Power Grappling and 'grappling rolls'

once you back off, and learn the skill based on DX, adding the ST component to it makes sense to me.

Makes sense to me, too, but what doesn't make sense is that the same Perk covers replacing DX with ST and adding a bonus for high skill.

Both are logical traits for a highly trained athlete in a grappling style to have, but it's easy enough to imagine a character whose concept only calls for one of these two.
