Personally i think somethings in skyrim wouldn't really change aside from the few storys that Armpit just mentioned. But mercer is one i disagree  As a thief you followed Mercer. Mercer gladly sacrificed your life to make sure that you get hit first before he did. and Upon finding out his intentions he stabs you to finish you off. fearing that the truth would reach to the guild members. As a thief who singlehandedly carried out a sleath operation stealing from the vault and paying those to cover his tracks means that as a thief he only cares about himself. it's little wonder why he purposely did not want to get close to anyone only as far as to give proper introductions and information whether or not it's true. Siding with Mercer would just feel empty.

True though as a thief, it's really about the money. But a true thief should never place their faith in their comrads and Mercer probably knew this. it's best to decieve others or you will be risked to be used like the rest of them with little reward. Even if you sided with Mercer, you'll never witness a true thief unless somone stabs you in the back and shows you how determined he is to pull off a heist or robbery.
