Well in all fairness this completely depends on the game mechanics and how they were developed. In FFXI a Paladin couldn't get by without a shield so a two handed weapon was out of the question but given different game mechanics the polearm could've been given block abilities when equipped by a Paladin and they would've been a more plausible choice. You're thinking way too much in a fixed state of mind, not everything has to follow the same set of rules, things can work in FFXIV that didn't necessarily work in FFXI.
