I thought that all that pride in their Katanas was invented and revisionistic after gunpowder came to Japan and they actually took way more pride in their skills with a bow.

If you bragged about your skills with a Katana in feudal Japan, you kind of admitted that your archery skills are shit.

Pride in katana was during the Edo period when the samurai were relegated to being government officials and they used swords for duelling.
