Okay so Lucifer obviously upset his sky-daddy, is demoted from being an angel permanently, is cast down to rule an entire sector of the afterlife called Hell which we come to know where all damned souls go after they die.

What is the logic of God practically awarding Lucifer an entire realm for him to rule on his own and nearly contest God's power?

That's like imprisoning someone to home confinement when they live in a mansion.

The weeping and gnashing of teeth isn't even explicitly hell.

10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

It's just a general separation from God. Which you could call a Hell, but it's not explicitly stated as a product of that realm which is Hell.

    The other things Jesus says and Revelation does heavily imply that it's hell.

    Yep, sorry, that was my bad and a holdover from having that actual scenario play out earlier on a different topic and still being annoyed with it. Then I second guessed myself, checked your post history, which showed you're most likely legit, then deleted my comment. So nevermind, I was in the wrong.
