Probably the same sort of logic / justification that leads to so many random Regts walting around with spurs on their mess kit when the closest the vast majority of them have ever got to a horse is sticking £20 on the 1630 at Kempton Park.
Only cavalry regiments wear spurs on their mess kits, and only regiments who were once issued with swords carry them.
Crabs just look daft prancing around with swords trying to emulate the cavalry. Swords are not part of their heritage. If crabs want to dress up then they should stick to their own heritage and wear leather hats and goggles.
