Could that perception be because firearms are still with us, while swords and metal armor have gone to the dust bin of history? Blackpowder was very much an invention of chinese alchemy.

Hey, if you need a fantasy-based reason for blackpowder weapons, how about as a defense against dragons? That dire necessity would tend to spur the development of new weapons.
