Xin Zhao's spear's range

Xin Zhao has a range of 175, the same as Yasuo.

I am somewhat bothered by this, because Xin Zhao is wielding a spear, while Yasuo has a katana. Shouldn't Xin have a longer range? One of the main points of using a spear is that it has a better reach compared to a sword. Yasuo manages to slice with a sword the same distance as Xin thrusting his spear. When Yasuo thrusts with q, which is a weird thing to do with a katana, it has 475 range. Xin's /dance has him swing his spear around way further out than his aa range, so I don't know why he doesn't utilize that range.

I am not advocating any changes to his range at all. This is more of an aesthetic opinion, but somebody reported my post when I put it in Story, Art, and Sound, and it recommended I post this in Gameplay.

Edit: But if Xin is considered for an update, I hope the designers try to make his concept compliment the playstyle. Right now, if Xin didn't have a model, you wouldn't be able to tell he had a spear. If I had to guess, he uses kicks. The third kick on q is to the groin and knocks up the enemy. With w, years of intense martial arts has trained his thigh's stamina. His e he uses his strong leg muscles to lunge at an opponent. His ult, is a crescent roundhouse which knocks everybody away.
