I think they ran into the real problem with writer’s rooms in general, they suffer from a lack of knowledge in many areas. It’s why so many shows have “hammer noises” for Glocks, or the racking of a shotgun when people are about to kick in a door. They don’t know anything about weapons, and their ignorance is so complete they don’t even think to ask actual experts.

I think there's a degree of "the audience loves it", too. A realistic sword fight is rare in media because it's not as fun to watch as twirls and beating multiple enemies at once.
