This just makes Sentimentality a must-have, alongside the likes of pre-nerf Fugu, Exceptional Health, and Exceptional Will. There's literally no reason not to pick it over other options, thus reducing the choice of flavor in traits. Not by much as it's just one trait, but this kind of thing can add up as we've seen in the past.
For those saying you can have sentimentality and also use other weapons, you're not thinking alongside the tropes much. In my subjective opinion, this isn't for toolbox characters inspired by the likes of Miyamoto Musashi, this is for someone who's so dedicated to their art that their specialization shines through- refusal to use another weapon out of sheer sentimentality. Of course you can have a deep appreciation for your weapon and use other weapons- but that's not what this "hard core" specialization trait is for.
