Not sure if this is an unintended feature. Some npc-s (many orcs) and even some players use tools to fight too. The axe thing might be for players who want to cut ents and huorns with 100% attack speed. Pickaxes are also mentioned to be used by dwarves as weapons in the books. Hoes don't have any attack damage normally and shovels might be considered too weak (although IRL they may do just fine).
