it is waiting, being kept safely on display, awaiting for the return of a King to take it up, remake it and use it against the Enemy.
I get the idea, from the book and the movie, that Elves aren't as attached to their weapons or those of their ancestors. Perhaps because Elves are immortal, they do not see the past as quite as distant as men. To Elrond, Glamdring didn't belong to far distant ancestors through hundreds of generations, it belonged to his great-grandfather.
And yes, I agree with you too!
So Glamdring and Orcrist might as well do what they were made of, which is kill orcs and goblins, instead of lying about somewhere.
'"Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool!" he said to himself, and it became a favourite saying of his later, and passed into a proverb.'
