"It is not a goal, but a process. The process of creating the perfect world."
Personally, I think the sword could have been made usable and still make sense and be fair.
Assume the following were true:
1: The sword is electrified, and/or vibrates super-fast, etc. Something that lets it cut through shield and armor.
2: The sword needs power to work, it gets that power by pirating from the power cell of any energy sword you happen to pick up.
In other words, the katana could have been made available as an alternate look for the energy sword, and still be given an in-universe explanation as to how it can still work.
The real reason why is that it is sorta a waste of time. While it'd be cool, there's other things Bungie probably cared to attend to. The entire Hayabusa set was just calling in a favor anyways.
