Zoidberg on Cortosis
The gathering of the ore was hazardous because it would kill people on touch and it was impossible to mine with lasers(due to its heat resistant properties and nature to kill think of it as space asbestos). Unfortunately for us it is very rare and expensive. Due to the rarity we likely are stuck with the more common alloy that just resists attacks(not to mention it would be tough to balance shorting out a lightsaber on contact all the time).
While cortosis makes weapons immune to lightsabers it also makes them more vulnerable to non energy attacks. So if you want a pure cortosis sword you will stop all lightsaber attacks, but someone with a metal pipe will smash your weapon to bits.
