The majority of the Polearm group could technically be treated as spears, but it's not really a weapon that looks like a spear that people want. They want a weapon that actually fights like a spear. Instead of all the twirling staff like maneuvers of most of the polearm attacks they want stabs and sweeps.

Also, the 'Spear' from the Devstream isn't really a spear. It's a laser gun you can throw at people like a javelin.
