Do we think they'll ever be added because as is we basically get nothing. New books will come out and they won't reference artificer so we won't get new spells, not a single third party is allowed to reference them. Why do they feel the need to shaft an entire class?
Given the history of how it worked in the 5e era, I'd say it seems unlikely. It's frustrating as hell.
pronouns: he/she/they
The SRD gives you the basic rules and basic classes for free. But its a loss leader to get you hooked so you eventually pay money for all the other books to get new classes, subclasses, and so on.
I dont think that approach is ever going away
The point of the SRD is to allow third-party authors to create content based on the existing content without running into copyright issues. What you're describing is more the free Basic Rules book here on D&D Beyond.

So with the 5e Artificer the only things the Artificer specifically got post release (without including a re-release of the class) were spells.
Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos gave Artificers Kinetic Jaunt and Vortex Warp
- Of Note: Vortex Warp is the ONLY teleportation spell on the Artificer's spell list.
Fizban's Treasury of Dragons gave Artificers Ashardalon's Stride
Astral Adventurer's Guide gave Artificers Air Bubble and Create Spelljamming Helm
Oddly enough every one of these spells is related to movement/travel. Granting extra speed, teleportation, a spaceship, or the means to breathe in space. One could almost take it as a hint that Artificers ought to "get out of here." (Joke. I don't think WotC is saying this.)
With 5.5e we're looking forward to a new Artificer subclass, the Reanimator, being printed in Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. So it looks to be a little bit different than the 5e Artificer content drip at least.
Inclusion in the SRD would be the easy, simple solution, and one that encourages third party creators... but there's at least water in this desert now.
