I'm just taking guess of that's weapons like that would have been used IRL in ye olde times...
Medieval bladed weapons not being sharp is a weirdly common misconception. Aside from this being contradicted by techniques shown in old fighting manuals, logically, why in the heck would anybody bother making blades if they were going to use them as blunt weapons?

Using their size as reasoning is pointless, as real live axes and great swords were nowhere near as big and wide, but this is a fantasy game so obviously everything will be exaggerated to look appealing. Weapons like these wouldn't be used for "crushing" in real life - they just wouldn't be used at all due to how unwieldy and slow they'd be.
