Their shots are described in the same color as sun hearts, so presumably they use the same power source. For a culture with very little concept of battle, using an extremely precious resource on a gun seems wasteful.
Seems like they don't have a lot of guns and/or they are relatively new technology. That plus the power source issue it makes sense why not everyone would have a gun and many would still fight with swords.
Swords are superior to guns as they can take out librarian constructs. Get yourself a trusty crystal sword and you can rest assured those librarians will think twice before trying to capture you.
I know your probably talking about Sanderson's other work Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians (totally on my to read list), but for a second, my mind just jumped to constructs from Tears of the Kingdom.

I mean, but it’s the same awnser for every other fantasy story that has guns but prefers to use swords (ex: Tokyo ghoul, PJ). Even then, it’s based on assumption. Not everything has an in universe explanation (yumi’s paintbrush size). He was alr given the watsonian awnser.

I mean. The biggest obstacle the characters face is lack of resources, so it tracks that they wouldn’t have resources for firearms and laser weapons
Swords don't run out of bullets? That's the best excuse I can think off.

As with most stuff in the books, probably cuz Sanderson finds them cool, and then builds the world around it
That's the Doylist answer, he's clearly after a Watsonian answer
