I've heard some people say they think quivers were added in the early game because initially, items in stacks didn't share the same weight. A stack of 0.1 arrows would weigh 2.0. That made stacks of arrows pretty heavy. They added quivers. Then they made stacks lighter. Later on, they added quiver haste to make quivers have a point.
I do not recall stacks with cumulative weight, but didn't start day 1 of release either (was July when I started). Quivers were pointless from the day I started fletching (about a week after I started playing) until quiver haste was added later.

As it is currently on green the cheapest "quiver" with good capacity is a Small Box (weight 2.0, 8 small slots) and the best capacity is probably the Bearskin Potion Bag (2.5, 10 small slots).

If you only need enough slots to carry arrows for pulling the Tailored Belt Pouch (0.6 6 small slots) (Silk Cord + LQ Cat, trivial 37) and the Tailored Large Bag (0.6, 6 large slots) (Silk Cord + LQ Bear, trivial 41) are easy lightweight low tailoring skill options, and the Tailored Quiver is slightly better if you have a friend skilling tailoring (0.4, 6 slots arrows only) (HQ Cat + pattern, trivial 115).

Any bag that is not a quiver can also be used to carry fletching components and other things.
