Agreed. I feel like it's kinda antithetical for a spear's primary attack to be short in its range when the spear is the last weapon that should be lacking in range. Like, why strike at such a steep angle that butchers the main advantage of your weapon? That's like wielding a sword and striking with everything but the blade.
