Because that's not how you'd use a scabbard on a greatsword. You put the sword in, hang it over your back and now you have your hands free.
If there is any expectation of needing the thing, you take it out of the scabbard ahead of time and just keep the sword in your hands or over your shoulder.
Hell, even with a small sword, you don't keep the thing in the scabbard when you expect to need it, keep it in your hands so you can swing it right away if need be.

But then how will you do a cool iaijutsu attack?! Seriously though, the local law might be (as it was in Japan) that whoever draws first is the guilty party. There could be other complications like that, such as surprise attacks.

Because that's civilian rules, stuff I know fuckall about.
