Maybe the fact that Worf was overthrown so often might also indicate another reason why no one is starfleet is focusing on hand to hand combat - to many aliens are super strong. Humans can't stand against it. And unfortunately, often you see that they are super strong only when you're already in a fist fight you are going to lose.
That's why phasers are the standard weapon - They can deal with most enemies well.
That's also why the Borg where such a big threat - phasers failed against them. They may also be one of the few phaser-immune aliens that weren't immune to melee damage, either.
