Not that I completely agree, but *I think* that the idea of monks using one handed weapons only is supposed to correspond to having an open hand to parry therefore reducing AC. Personally, I would rather take the sword blow on my stick than on my (iron, even) palm.
As far as Druids and scimitars, it seems that the Druid guy in the "Sword of Shanarra" books weilded a scimitar. This series was out, and popular about the same time 1st edition rules were in play (I think).
Who knows?
