I would really appreciate useful spears in PE... Come to think of it, nobody (as far as i know) really incorporate spears as deadly weapon (cause swords are awesome, m'kay) to video games. Combination of one-handed spear and shiled is really deadly/effective, just look at Spartans/Ancient Warriors generally. And making them also a throwing weapons would be cool (adding some interesting alternatives for ranged warriors or secondary weapons for melee ones).

Jeez, just don't force them (devs) to anything, that's the worst aproach. If dev writes a character and at some point feels it should be romanced, by no means, let him do it. If you feel it's right/natural for particular situation/characters, I don't see any problem. What I'm trying to say is that in regards of writing nothing good would come from conceptual "regulations". "There has to be something/doesn't have to be something without any further thinking" aproach is the best way to screw up something possibly unique...
