It could just be that they have multiple copies of the weapons, no complications or what so ever. No piece of lore ever stated that a DP can only make one copy of a daedric artefact (with their powers, it so not impossible to make more) So you probably could have a dawnbreaker duel, Molag mace mashup or Wabbajack war. I do not see how the DPs, lore wise, have no ability to make another weapon that is the same as one they made before, unless most of the DPs powers are stuck in that artefact, which seems completely impossible (the artefacts are not very powerful and DPs are very powerful). So no issues on who to get the artefacts.

Although, if really insistent on one artefact of each, I think the holiday event scenario or the limited time scenario seems the most likely, because this helps to regulate access and does not need to be frequently done. super low drop chance is still similar to the multiple copies one, just taking longer. They would probably not allow you to trade the artefacts

It could also be that the artefacts are just (untradeable) vanity items. In the sense that they are sub par (like the ones in skyrim) stuff that can be easily bettered by any crafted or generic weapon. So they are essentially just trophies for the person who obtains them

Or finally, there could be multiple different servers for limited numbers of players each with one set of daedric artefacts each. This way, it will not piss off thousands of people and can keep one set of artefacts per "world"
