Why? IRL bronze was too valuable to make a such a large sword. That's why the Romans used the bronze spears and a gladius. Iron was plentiful and cheap that's why 2 handed swords started appearing in the late iron age.

The 2 handed bronze weapon in the game is the thematically appropriate bronze aetgir.

I counter your logic with; there are 20 foot Trolls wielding trees.

Trolls are weak to piercing damage. The aetgir does piercing damage. A 2 handed sword is not used for piercing damage and would still be less effective against a troll.

If you were 20 feet tall you could use a tree trunk as a club too.

The devs like to keep things with the Viking theme so most of the 2 handed weapons are axes and pole arms. You can get the Krom (2 handed sword) once you can build a black metal forge.
