in space there are fewer contributing factors to degredation. the foot weapons that would have been left on the planetswould have been rusted, chewed, crushed by gravity sono piece of them is left. it's also likely there are fewer weapons left; as far as I know as of writing, there's no lore to suggest the sentients had large-scale occupation forces in the origin system

leftover archwing weapons on the other hand are mostly just subject to random bits of space debris and a weapon that's been broken in half by a small fast moving object might still have salvageable parts.

another possiblity is that archwing weapons are made in a way the foundry can't replicate, or with materials we can't aquire in sufficient quantities.
