actually if the demons have no access to the mines and humans are shit at using mythril then that only means the balance is still maintained, less casualty cause less op weapons in the battlefield if neither can mass produce the mythril weapon

The sword issue is honestly even simpler than y'all are making it out to be. Everyone with any knowledge on the subject acknowledges that the spear is a superior weapon of war than the sword, so why, then, did the sword get all the romanticism while the spear was, relatively, left to rot? Simple convenience leading to greater visibility. To carry a spear, you literally have to carry it. Everywhere you go, it will be taking up one of your hands; when you need that second hand for more than a moment, you have to set the spear down where it can be stolen, fall and break something, or just generally get in the way.
A sword, on the other hand, can be belted on to hang on your hip, where it'll stay all day, to the point you may, at times, forget you're even wearing it. It might get in the way when walking through cramped spaces, but that takes such a minor adjustment that you won't really think of it after the first couple times; even when sitting down (as long as it's not in something like a modern booth), it's a minor adjustment to get it out of the way, but even then, it never leaves your side.
Though, that said, legendary swords are more prevalent than legendary spears because swords were always more expensive to make, and thus rarer, than the common spear, which most people might own as a simple hunting tool. For the same reason, legendary bows are pretty scarce and few (outside Hindu mythology) are actually named, something even legendary spears almost always get.

The japanese obssesion with katana is quite simple. It was symbol of social rank, in this case of military aristocracy as a part of reforms by Toyotomi Hidejoshi. Also, it's as Vincentius said. The Katana heyday came with peaceful Tokugawa shogunate, until then the samurai's main weapons were bow, spear and later arquebus.
Now, the european case is also quite easy. It's matter of expensive and thus rare weapon. In most tribal societies, the sword was available only to the most wealthy and influential warriors and chieftains and as such the individual swords gained semi-mythical status.
