It’s an interesting question; my theory has been that Bloodraven was either given the sword to keep him loyal or was given as a reward for having informed on Daemon.
Why do you think Bloodraven got Dark Sister instead of Baelor Breakspear? Baelor was 5 years older and likely a martial prodigy at a young age, plus the heir to the throne to boot. Why give the only remaining Targaryen sword to another bastard? This must have happened under Daeron II as Bloodraven was only 9 when Aegon IV died and definitely hadn’t earned a VS sword by then.
