More people died by the spear than the sword, and if you don't like my opinion, I'll shove it up your ass with sharp stick!

It's because people want to imagine themselves as a hero, engaging in one on one combat. A knight or samurai.

They don't want to imagine themselves as a barely trained serf in a block with 30 other people holding 3m long pikes trying not to shit yourself as arrows start to rain down.

Shit, even in one on one martial combat, give me range and I'll take it. Knife < Sword < Spear < Bow
