As you may or may not know, Shinnok's s3 has a toe stomp animation, making it look like it REALLY should be a low. Furthermore it cannot be parried by most parries for instance Assassin Kitana's parry. It can however be parried by Kano's low parry (not his high/mid one though). My, not so far fetched, guess is that the move was at some point a low and somehow kept it's properties.
That being said, would he be too strong if he had a low string? It would probably not change the Boneshaper gamestyle anything since he has a faster low string already. HOWEVER it would be a great boost to his other two variations.
Impostor would probably benefit the most since it would give him a legit vortex after mimicry. S3 being 15 frames and B3 being 18 would make it hard/impossible to fuzzy. AND it would give him a safe (ish) string to throw out which can be confirmed into a full combo, made + with HS or EX Amulet and so on. Furthermore it would up his corner damage even further.
Necromancer would not be as severely buffed as Impostor but having a low, safe (ish), hit confirmable string would make him less meter dependent. The improved 50/50 game would benefit him and make his oki stronger.
Bear in mind two things. First of all, standing 3 is -4 on block, 31 is -14, 312 is -7 so it would not be useful for staggers. Second, s3 has shit range.
