I think it's just like you said AWC, with the exception of Yagen most of the ex-Oda swords are a bit...melancholic or downright spiteful just to exemplify Nobunaga's title as a "Demon Lord of the Sixth Heaven".

As for the other swords you mentioned, they are  a bit emo, but they just show it in a different way. Imanotsurugi's book description for example, he does remember that he was used by his master to commit seppuku and got sad by remembering it (" Since his time at the temple, I have been by the lord's side, all the way until the end! That's right... until the very last moment...")    and Tsurumaru's fondness of surprise is just a way for him to cope with his history of being passed or stolen from one hand to another (" Surprises are essential in life. If everything goes according to how it's planned, the heart will die earlier."). Higekiri choose to be a bit apathetic when he remembered about things of the past (" After a thousand years of being a sword... Most things don't really matter very much anymore."), while Hizamaru still can't forget his status as a treasure of Minamoto in his internal affairs and special interaction with Iwatooshi ("Those Minamoto members would faint if they saw me now, wouldn't they? " and "Well now, I'll see if you're worthy of protecting the Genji clan." In which he said " To still be provoked by nonsense...means immaturity."  after he's finished).

So yeah, majority of the swords are still bound by their past and previous masters but they just show it in a different way. I think it would be boring to see all of them become all out emo just like Fudou or Yamanbagiri, and it would be lazy writing on the devs part to write them like that. Variation is a good thing, no?
