I think the main reason why ghouls don't use proper martial arts is simply because very few ghouls have access to any kind of training.

Majority of them are illiterate and thus can't learn from books like Kaneki did, and their super strength would get them caught immediately if they tried to learn with humans (Which would probably be their only choice since ghoul martial artists are rare or nonexistent).

That leaves most of them with one option: Creating their own fighting styles, and what happens when a person armed with a kagune and super strength starts making his own style? They'd probably start fighting like animals like you said.

As to why they don't use guns or melee weapons... No idea. They had snipers during the Aogiri arc though.
