While I would support such a change for Yuriko, as I feel it's more of a loophole with Ninjutsu being an activated ability rather than an alternate cost. Ninjutsu is functionally more similar to an alternate cost, and probably would be if it were created in the modern era. But, in the games where Yuriko shines, she's not really extremely concerned with the commander tax anyway, so I don't know that it's worth the trouble.
Derevi, on the other hand, was specifically designed to have that ability to bypass the commander tax. That was the intent. It was an experiment, and clearly the design team has decided that it was not something they wanted to do going forward. If you feel that it is problematic for Derevi to be able to bypass the commander tax, then I think you're talking about a ban, rather than torturing the rules to apply commander tax to it.
