Because this "hacked" version of the Greatsword already exists in the game files, thus allowing console modders to access a stronger version of a normally average weapon. Besides, a majority of people are more likely to expect an invader/invadee to use a Demon's Greataxe than a Crystal Greatsword, so by using the modded-in version, it allows for a slight element of surprise.
