1) Because its a kick, not a martial arts kick. Oddly enough, the two can exist in different places
2) No, no it wouldn't. Because not everyone WANTS it as an MA kick. I know I'd be pissed off if my archer character suddenly started doing high kicks when she doesnt known kickboxing.
3) Yes, thats because Maelstrom is a jammy NPC who has access to set combos we players dont get. In his case, DP/MA.

If by change the animation you mean grant power/animation customization to power pools, allowing you to change from the basic kick to a more MA kick, then sure.
Otherwise, no.
I've got characters that wouldn't suit an MA kick at all.
Sure, if its an alternate animation I don't see any problem with it. And like you said, the animation is already there.

I would agree with Techbot. If your character knows Martial Arts, then they already have awesome Martial-Arts style attack animations.
If you DON'T know Martial Arts, and you're just gonna PUNCH or KICK someone, then the BRAWL and KICK powers look exactly as they should.

as alternate anims, yeah, that would be good, once they get to power pool customization, i sincerely hope that we see this for all the pool attacks. it should be noted that the timing still has to match, so it won be all the kicks, just ones that have similar animation times. current precedent indicates there will be one new animation per pass, usually with a light and dark effect modifier.

It would add some role.
Personally I think all power pool needs customization, they look kinda lame and outdated now.
Same for tough, the chest beating animation and Tarzan FX sound sucks.

Heck, won a PVP match vs a friend with one... very well placed kick, once. (Just happened to work out, but getting that last bit of damage like that made it just that much better.)
The Kick animation is probably by FAR my most favourite one of the pool powers, and probably among my top 10 favourites in the game. It has that "Little pig! Little pig let me in!" vibe to it Hell, I'd kill to have that as an alternate animation for Crane Kick.
That said, with power customization for pool powers and as an option and not a replacement, sure. Why not?
