It is quite logical. Cutting of a limb doesnt require only strength or weight. It also involves technique(edge alignment), sharpness and speed. Roys Authority of Gluttony gives him the martial art techniques of everyone he eats. So we can assume that he infact has the technique to slice of a limb. It also gives him extraordinary combat strength. Hands arent that sharp neither are claws, so he lacks that unless he uses wind magic.

Claws are used to catch and hold on to prey. No animal cuts with them. And since Roy uses his hands to cut of Ricardos limb he even lacks the sharp tip claws normally have. But given enough speed and with the right technique he could cut through limbs like a hot knife cuts through butter. While force/strength is infact a factor in this regard it only provides 1:1 energy, while speed give a factor of 1:2 force(twice the force means twice as much energy/twice the speed means four times the force).

Sorry for bad english^^
