That's Latin for "cool"
Some adventures feature magic rooms or glowing alters, or other such things. These are generally set up as puzzles or traps. So in your game, what happens when the PC casts identify on the room that has a giant magic chess set (e.g. such as in the original harry potter book/movie) or on the alter that will zap you unless you speak the evil god's name? Are all of these tropes considered to be of artifact level status?
For the purposes of discussion, please do not weigh the fact that identify is a touch spell. The issue here is what the spell can be used on and the information received.
