Read the first two sentences.

I did. Additionally, polearms aren't even a class weapon for Ghost. There is no real reason to leave it axe incompatible.

There is. Axes have a ghost skill already solely for axes with it's own special effect/hit buff which even ties into another ghost axe skill... why do they need further augmentation when they aren't the ones lacking. There's also plenty of ways to work around it such as sword/axe or polearm/axe weapons. And uhhh just because they aren't a class weapon doesn't mean duelist doesn't heavily imply that you can use polearms. (Vent Petale, Sillcut, Couloir, Cyclone Spear, Lance de Lion, even Repel)
