And its in the lore. As a Warrior you are trained to use axes. And the skills animations reflect this. They are all based around a weapon where the balance is at the very point of the stick youre flailing about. Trying to do the same with a sword would fail as they arent as heavy in one end; the mass is more evenly distributed on a sword.

Also the way we hold axes wouldnt work with a sword as the hands are too far apart. Unless you want to grip the blade that is
That's a problem of animators, not lore. There's absolutely nothing in the warrior quests that teaches you about weapon type. it's all about your inner beast.
