Since Yoshi doesn't want to use effect status on weapons they only have so many options for each weapon. And even if they did add effects those would have to be limited to. Can't have %stun on a weapon or it might proc during a battle when you don't want it too, which then would cause the mob to grow resistance. The same goes for a few other effects.

Whether we like it or not, SE is going with the vertical progression for most new content.
