The reverse grip is especially important if you want to comfortably draw and sheathe an especially long sword since it will allow a tighter angle to be made when drawing/sheathing without putting too much strain on your wrist.

enter image description here

It also is occasionally done on particularly short "swords" like butterfly swords from Wing Chun and seems to be done asare a way to use your forearms as a blocking tool kind of like how a tonfa would work or as a method to use your swords at extremely close ranges where you would be throwing elbow strikes.
