It's because swords are faster than warhammers, and warhammers have +1 knockback which can be a bit of a nuisance at times. Try taking a look at the statistics other than Damage. The regular Uruk Scimitar has a higher DPS than the warhammer, and the Uruk Beserker Scimitar has the highest DPS of any weapon that isn't Mithril. So yeah, the warhammer can do more damage in a single hit, but damage isn't the only factor in the mod.
