Dragonglass, if it is like our obsidian, would be too brittle to make classical swords. But that does not mean that they are limited to arrowheads, spears (by the way, the first picture seems to show spear head and not arrow head) or daggers. The lack of good metallurgy gave a good incentive for mesoamericans civilizations to use obsidian

They used, for example the macuhatil, which is a sort of wooden sword with encrusted obsidian blades.

I don't know of any other way to make weapons from obsidian that have the same properties as a sword. Whether or not they could find a way to make swords with dragonglass (by making macuhatil or through some other means) is pure speculation though.

Also, keep in mind that they just started the extraction of obsidian, so they need more time to make proper weapons. It will not be an easy task as a blacksmith is not used to make dragonglass weapons.

They used, for example the macuhatil, which is a sort of wooden sword with incrusted obsidian blades.
