Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Comparing the Ascension Perks list on https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Traditions#Ascension_perks with the in-game list, the following perks don't appear at all in the in-game list, even as unavailable:
- Consecrated Worlds
- Universal Transactions
- Hive Worlds
- Machine Worlds
- Synthetic Age

I've only played as:
(1) Avian Xenophile Egalitarian Materialist Democracy with Meritocracy & Mining Guilds civics, and
(2) Avian Xenophobe Egalitarian Materialist Democracy with Parliamentary System & Shadow Council civics
but it seems strange that other unavailable perks that I can't possibly use with these set-ups (e.g. Nihilistic Acquisition for (1) and Xeno-Compatibility for (2)), appear.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
While in-game, look at Ascension perks list. I haven't tried with any other set-ups.

Check the prerequisites column in that wiki table. If your empire does not meet them, there is no point showing them to you in game even as unavailable, since they are not going to become available during normal playthrough.

That's my point, though. The Universal Transactions perk appears in the list and, through normal gameplay, I can change my authority to Corporate in order to take it. Consecrated Worlds, however, isn't in the list but, through normal gameplay, I can change a governing ethic to (Fanatic) Spiritualist to take it.

There's an inconsistency, which I assume to be a bug.

(Edit: I assume that I can't change to Gestalt Consciousness then Hive Mind / Machine Intelligence for Hive Worlds, Machine Worlds or Synthetic Age, so not including those makes more sense - I just added them for the sake of completeness!)

It is "as designed".

Fair enough, but I'm now curious as to the reasoning behind it!
