It would've been nice there as it would have been a usable machete and would have fit in better. Yes, it would have outclassed the other Machete's, but your best options are Prova Vandal or the Kama which are completely outclassed by other weapons already.

As well, putting it in Machetes would have left the Sword category, with it's several viable options, alone and kept it from accessing Crimson Dervish. This would mean that players would be choosing between using a Sword with the Dervish Multipliers or Broken-War with higher damage but lower modifiers resulting in people making personal preference decisions and an actual diversification in the Meta.

It's theoretically possible they could switch it, and presumably Crimson Dervish, to Machete because Jat Kittag used to be a Polearm, but don't hold your breath.
