ELI5: Why does Shudderwok get Okani's ability

Just went up against the Shudderwok Okani deck, but I’m not following why Okani’s ability gets transferred to Shudderwok. There’s nothing in play that states that cards ability will be given to another card.

Because Okani doesn’t have an ability, it has a battlecry.

What gets me is how it is coded to be so much more consistent than the priest hero card that rotated a few days ago…yet they have left Shudderwok alone for years…I seriously don’t see how they can do the balance they seem to indicate they want to do for Wild without touching it.
