I think it might almost be a trope.
Heroes don't toss pointy sticks at the big bads, no matter how sensible it seems.
I think that's true. And the same happens with shields, except for Captain America and Wonder Woman.

Anyhow, I'd say that it's a problem of cinema or TV, and fantasy RPGs don't need to inherit it.
