It's because the Greatsword (GS) has a leaping charge ability. In GW2 you can use attacks without a target, so you can increase your traversal speed by using charge and rush attacks in the open. Guardian GS 3, Warrior GS 5, Ranger GS 3, Elementalist Dagger 4 are all good examples of this.
The Guardian's 1-H sword has a short-range teleport, but you have to have an enemy targeted within range (600 unit range iirc) to use it, making it unusable as a traveling utility.
Therefore, Guardian GS is regarded as having more mobility.
