=_= this so much. I've been hoping that they'll cave and give us an emperor's new fist to hide our fist weapons because of how bad they look. Even the first few weapons that actually look like blunt weapons just float over your character's knuckles. However, what I've considered to be a major reason for why they float so bad is due to making the weapon fit with possible gauntlet design. Since gauntlets can get close to filling in the space they'd rather not have clipping issues. That or its just easier over all to make them like this.

Even though I would love for them to go back to a more blunt look for our weapons, the crescent moon knives used in baguazhang would be a decent design they could use while keeping that spaced out weapon look.
