It's the same deal as the Desert Eagle having absurd stats. People perceive and expect them to be better than other weapons in their class, so Devs make them that way.
Why are Katanas almost always some of the most overpowered weapons in a character's arsenal?

The katana in SH3 wasn't all that great. I know it's not a real katana, but I'm sure the devs named it that anyway.

they look cool

Yeah. I really like single-edged blades. A regular katana is nice but I like the types with extra broad blades even better, the ones used for their tatami-cutting competitions.

Are the same Devs that made a Shotgun be 400% deadly at melee but hit like a cloud at mid distance(at 2-3 meters barrely do any dmg).
