Well you can check the melee simulator stats if you don't want to take my word for it, but 2-handed spear versus spear & shield isn't much of an improvement.
One typical reason would be that armies like standardized equipment rather than irregulars, and/or for group tactics. But hopefully you'll see they'd be foolish to prefer a 29-point spearman with a shield to a 35-point polearm user without a shield.

It seems like you answered your own original questions and mine there. It also seems that (in our world) soldier recruits go through physical conditioning (basic training) before going on to learn their specialized skill.

If you've discovered a universe more realistic than our own, can you give me the name of your druggist?
