[Platinum Pirate]

Probably they did it to give newly created pirates an alternative to Triton. It looks different and blends well unlike Triton which is very noticeable. Triton is meant for QAR and requires some considerable experience in Notoriety and Skills to survive. The odds of missing are too high for a young pirate. Therefore giving them an alternative makes more sense. No need to purchase when gold is scarce and no need to wait until a common military broadsword is found in a loot drop.

Oh yeah, for a kid, especially, whom Disney has in mind mostly to appeal, it looks cool, awesome, rad, etc. So I reckon.
