Nasu already made it in Extella that is the main reason why they're not that strong, and its already established since FSN which is why stronger heroes are often old, fictional, archaic heroes instead of new, modern heroes with real-life accomplishments. Paladins became weaker as their real histories fame greatly weakens their fictional mysteries aspect.

You're pushing your headcanon too far by saying Excalibur will easily broken by Durandal. Excalibur under Nasuverse is a Divine Construct that it'll took more effort than 'sword known to be sharp' to crush it.

I am not saying it could destory excalibur I am saying it could deflect the beam. Secondly why is it established that Excalibur was made by Fairies there is many variations of how the sword was made. Until Natsu himself decides its not a divine construct its not out of the boundry since there are many holy swords in history that have unforseeable origins just like excalibur so what makes it so special other than being famous. Secondly even if the real life counterparts of the paladins lower the power of their mythical variants they are still older than the round table and laid the foundations for knights of the future to even exist just like Gilgamesh is a big deal for being the first hero so I do not see why they are ranked so low in Extalia. And for all we know this could be subject to change.
