I run a game where one of my players uses dex for his longsword and we called it a katana. I see the problem on both sides. I get that some dms want to have only there setting with there tone but I like my dnd as a collaborative game where the players build my world with me. This is why a winery in my setting is called tequilla hombres... It doesn't feel very fantasy but everyone loves it.
90% chance the DM's issue wasn't just with the scythe, it was probably with the players scythe-wielding edgy weeb character. Sadly speaking from experience.
There is a historic fencing manual that includes a chapter on scythes. Most likely because the author wanted to flex on other fencing masters by showing off how great he was even with such a useless weapon.
