primarily made of wood and relatively simple

Also, less maintenance/ material required for its creation.

A spear point with a couple of langets is something a blacksmith can knock out by the hour. Good swords take longer and are more technical to make. You break your spear shaft in training? Well tough as, but you can find a suitable replacement and remount it on campaign.

a spearhead can also be a dagger in an emergency, which is a nice extra.
