For some daft reason, Spears aren't Polearms.

Doesn't he get weapon training in spears? He should.
Spears and polearms are different weapon categories in Pathfinder system.

Proficient, not focused.

Once you hit lvl 6 Sohei you can choose spears as your weapon training. That will let you flurry with a long spear. It's a serious power spike when you get it in the middle of Gray Garrison part 2.

It's more about balance. Spears in the game are mostly simple weapons, while pretty much all polarms are at least in the martial category.

Like there are 2 categories of blades, light and heavy.

I think the difference is the damage type.

Spear weapon class are long weapons used in thrusting, and tend to deal piercing damage.
Polearms are long weapons used with a swinging motion and tend to do slashing or bludgeoning damage. It's about how the weapon is used that determined the weapon group they belong in.
