Listen, the World System is by far one of the weirdest things in the story, but it is a thing.

For example, Veldanava creates the World System, but the World System conspired to kill Veldanava because Veldanava contradicted his role as god. In short, Veldanava was killed by something he created that should've served him.

So saying something isn't true because it doesn't make sense doesn't work here, at least when it comes to the World System. The World System isn't loyal to Veldanava's design obviously. Almost as Veldanava had no idea what he made or how it works. It's the World System that designates beings when they become higher-tier spirits and even grants titles like Demon Lord and Great Demon Lord. It has control over what abilities appear and the Ultimate Skill restriction is one of those rules.

So the rules governing Ultimate Skills and talents have nothing to do with Veldanava, and honestly, neither does Veldanava's skills themselves.

Now, my personal suspicion is that Ultimate Skills didn't exist with the Origin Skill, that were added over time. The Akashic Records in real myth is the culmination of all "learned" knowledge, meaning that which isn't known isn't added, so the Origin Skill doesn't have all information, its added to it over time. Which makes sense, because the Ultimate Skills are byproducts of an individual's personal development, its their own unique touch that creates them. After they are created, the development history is added to Akashic Records were it can be harvested and used by a skill like Manas: Ciel, Creation Lord Ahura Mazda, or Harvest Lord Shub-Niggurath.

In short, Rimuru has the means to create these skills "if they are available" and the World System dicates how they are available due to the rules of Ultimate Skills.

For example, Justice King Michael should be up for graps, but Wrathful King Satan isn't. Tyrant King Susanoo is not up for graps, but its Unique Skill version Cook is.

You see its important for this rule to be in place, or else multiple people would be running around with the same Ultimate Skills. Its important that only so many can exist at one time to prevent too many OP characters from appearing. For example, there will only be 7 of the main Sin Series at one time, and only 7 of the main Virtue Series, and that's cut and try.

The author clearly see that there needs to be a limit on such things and the limitations of Rimuru's abilities reflect in that.
