Despite BladeStorm having a target limit it still is great because it scales and ignores enemy armor and also procs a slash effect. Yes Exalted Blade can deal more damage and Spores can affect more enemies and cut their hp in half but neither of them are as good for AOE damage as BladeStorm is, turning BladeStorm into a stance would make it a gimmick and heavily reduce Ash's main role: deal damage.

It may not be the most enternaining gameplay Style it sure is better than tickeling enemies to death at higher levels.

So my point is, it is the most valuable AOE dmg skill because it has a damage type that doesn't fall off, it scales with the combo metter and even once it's over it still deals damage + it looks badass.
