I think these Japanese weapons are just taught now as part of a tradition. The nunchaku was never considered superior to the katana. The only reason it was practiced was because not everyone could have a katana. But now days you can (if you have money). Many countries allow guns, also. There are knives everywhere, too. Why train to use a farming tool? That is just a tradition. Being traditional is fair enough if your into that, but when it comes to practicallity I dont see why these inferior weapons are used.
