I just watched the video with the sword on the back.
My two cents:
This guy shows it is possible to carry a sword on the back.
He says its good for adventuring when you do stuff like running, climbing or crawling.
But I think there is another point: Adventurers carry lots of stuff.
When you travel a lot you may need a sleeping bag or even a tent, lots of food and water, cooking equipment and so on.

I think it is easier to carry a big bag on your back and a sword on your belt instead of carrying the sword on your back and lots of smaller bags on your belt.

Of course, in computer games characters can carry lots of items without any visible bags.
And in BG3 we have our own pocket dimension for the camp, so no need to carry tents or pots.
