Just because it's the name-sake of a race, doesn't nessicarily mean you would know how to use it. If you think Japanese sword, you think katana. But only a so many were trained to wield it. Most often the weapon used was a spear, a simple weapon just about anyone with some martial training can use without hurting themselves.
Except in PnP its an automatic thing.
So blame BioWare
