again, more hand-to-hand weapons monks cant use. and at lvl 41 these would be nice to have. but of course SE feels its necessary to screw monks over. >:/

What in the heck are you talking about?! As a 72 Mnk, I would love to have a set of knuckles/claws/bagknacks that threw in some type of status effect. Sure, there are a few rare sets of H2H weapons monks can use that do so, however, by and large, you don't see much. If ninja's, who typically sub War and get up to 4 attacks per round, can use weapons with status effects, I don't understand why more Mnk H2H can't have them as well.
By the way, I definitely don't see these as being anything really swooft as Acid Knuckles already exist and due to the lack of non-Mnk jobs of not using knuckles, I don't see why these were really created.

I don't know i use dagger for the most part but for mobs that are strong aginst dagger or just arent uber weak aginst dagger I will use H2H not usually but it all depends on my mood and whats going on in the pt. like if a SC is going to happen with my Viper Bite the I will use my daggers but if there isn't i will use dagger at the end of a fight just to use SATA+VB on the tank.

Most H2H weapons with additional status effects are unuseable by monks. My best guess would be because monks desire a fight that is free of outside influences and forms of cheating, hence their desire to use only the minimal amount of forged weaponry, i.e. claws, staves, etc.
