Let's step away from the tests for a minute and use a bit of common sense:

Even when making 'hard' event maps, the devs pretty much have to set them at a difficulty that is still clearable without the Yamato-classes. So if the Yamato-class had both ridiculous FP and great accuracy to go with it for equipping 46cms, it would make clearing the maps a complete joke for those who have them. On the other hand, if the devs upped the difficulty to compensate for the Yamato's strength, it would screw over the players who aren't lucky enough with RNG to have them in their fleet. So, the devs took a middle ground approach and made it so they don't receive the same accuracy bonus as the other ships do with their respective 'fit' guns, but are still usable on the Yamatos unlike the other ships.

Not sure about the penalty but at the very least, I think we can all agree that they don't receive a bonus for equipping 46cms. Personally, I agree with Kudaranai's guess that the 46cm are the 'fit' gun for Yamato-class, just with a few differences from the other 'fit' guns for the reasons I listed above
