That's what the extra 150 points buys you; if you don't think you should have
access to these weapons, you (obviously) won't pay the extra points. However,
I feel that access to these weapons is the primary thing distinguishing Chaos
titans from their Imperial counterparts (other than conversions/paint jobs,)
and I kind of think that Chaos Titans should be a bit different after having
spent a few millenia in the warp...

For the same reason as above; to pay for the extra weapons choices & tails
that distinguish them from Imperial Reavers.

More importantly, they don't have 2 carapace slots. There is, AFAIK, no list
of permitted weapons for Chaos Titans other than the standard Imperial ones.
IMO, there should be.
