I originally wasn't going to weigh in, but part of the idea behind the Blaster/Saber is it's designed for a time with Jedi in hiding.
"But in war time Jedi may try to hide!"
Yes, but it's a little different in this Era. I also want to pull out the old "Lightsabers are unique to individual Jedi, their shaping guided by the Force." I don't think it's unreasonable to say 'nobody came up with the idea'. Also to be fair, to be fair. @Ellri has not said you absolutely can not have it. Just that it's creation would need to be well explained.
