yes it was due to lack of money in Europe at the time. another reason was that
muskets and hand-cannons were at a few and only royal guard, dukes, lords and kings would have them. swords were also more common because of the accuaracy which bows could not garentee during the late middle ages and the reniassance. it was only in china,japan,Mongolia and Middle East including Asia minor (turkey) where they hardly use swords even then 20 to 30,000 soldiers out of a possible 70,00 would carry them.

What was the role of a swordsman in the Medieval Times?
There was no such thing as a swordsman in medieval times, although most knights carried a sword. This was essentially a last resort weapon and could not be used for "fencing" - it was usually designed for slashing and cutting. A knight also carried a shield, making the sword a single-hand weapon during most of the period. The main weapon for both knights and infantry (serjantz) was a spear or one of its derivatives . This had the advantage of keeping the enemy at more than arm's length away, reducing the risk of injury to oneself; using the sword or other close-combat weapon increased this risk because the enemy must automatically be closer. In the immediate post-medieval Renaissance era the sword became a much more widely-used weapon, with fencing schools starting up and mercenary troops such as Condotierri using almost entirely crossbows, swords and firerams.
