NPCs have always had costume pieces that are unique to them.
Swan's cape, Statesman's cape and silly half mask thing, BaB's gauntlets, Posi's glowing power armor, Scirocco's....well, poncho I guess, and he has a unique sword. Valkyrie and Infernal have weapons on their back.
We probably aren't going to ever get the exact NPC pieces, but it'd be kind of cool if we got something sorta similar to them.

I sadly agree there will always be items (like Swan's cape) that we'll probably never be able to use because they are "unique" items for unique NPCs.|

But there was talk some months ago of the Devs considering the idea of giving us things that are already in the game that we currently don't have access to. There are costume items out there are technically "NPC only" that are currently being used by non-unique generic NPCs. I'm hoping that we might eventually be able to get some of those because they wouldn't really ruin the "specialness" of any unique characters.
Also there's always the chance that we'll get cloned items like you mentioned. We may never get a spear exactly like Valkyrie's for example, but we may get something "close" to that.

A spear/halberd/staff/two-handed weapon requires different coding and animations. I'm certain they've thought about it, but not sure if they are all that interested in it at this time.
I'd love one though... Battle-Axe with a Halberd? Mace with a big ol' Tetsubo or Maul? Hecks Yeah!

Not gonna happen. But, the Distinguished Competition has a staff-fighting set, and I must say this is hella cool. And you can customize the staff with many pretty variants, some of which have glow-in-the-dark parts. We could use this over here.

I killed swan once in a bank. I wanted to rip that darn thing off of her cold dead corpse, and now...whenever The White-Swan has to level up at her...I just cringe. At her flagrant wearing of her magic swan cape...just goading me. Then...she has the nerve to ask me if Id like a Title.
No...dont title me, just gimmie your cape. She says no. And I ask her to title me. The Really Ticked off White-Swan, with no cool swan cape. She also declines.
@#$%^
