This is working as expected. The weld tool will only create WeldConstraints between touching Parts.
This means it sometimes can create extra welds that become inactive, but this isn’t always pointless, as if a part is removed then welds are redistributed to keep the entire structure welded together.
For example:
weldchange

That being said, I think having more configuration over this tool would be really helpful, giving you the option on whether it only welds touching parts, of if inactive welds are automatically removed, etc.
