NerfHack - artifact weapon gifts do not open new weapon slot?

My human Monk just got from sacrificing an artifact
an uncursed rustproof aklys named Skullcrusher
but the skill slot got not opened for it
quarterstaff [ Unskilled / Expert ]
spear [ Unskilled / Basic ]
shuriken [ Unskilled / Basic ]
I'm wondering whether that's part of the (nerving)
"nerfing" of this variant.
I already got some other useless artifacts in that
game, for example Quick Blade, also without opening
the necessary weapon slot to use it.
I recall some other variants that provide more than
just artifact _weapons_ from sacrifices, some useful
tools or armor, but they *also* opened the necessary
weapon slot in case of a getting new weapon types.
Why does the NerfHack gods then provide anything as a
gift in the first place if you shall not use it?
BTW, other artifacts granted are e.g. the conflicting
Pridwen (a shield) and Origin (a quarterstaff) - and
you have no third hand to wield/wear, of course to use
both - the NerfHack gods don't seem to be particularly
considerate (or just not generous) with their gifts.
