So much of the hype for Mihawk comes from this belief that he made Yoru black, while very few other swordsmen have accomplished this feat. With top tiers like Rocks, Roger, and Shanks not having a black blade.
While it is entirely possible Mihawk made Yoru black, there’s another possibility entirely. That just like pre-skip Zoro, Mihawk simply acquired a blade that was already made black. With Yoru’s original owner possibly being a follower of Joyboy.
It was only matter of time before these kind of threads popped up people can't downplay significance of kokutos anymore not when the only other user of it was Ryuma

So since we know for a fact a sword chooses it's user as stated in the narrative, are you trying to imply the strongest blade in existence chose Mihawk, instead of Roger, WB, BM, Shiki, Rayleigh, Scopper, Xebec, Shanks, Nusjuro, Fujitora, Greenbull etc etc?
One can say then that only Mihawk possessed the qualities to wield the strongest blade in the world.
And then this is supported by the statement in One Piece Rainbow (An animation artbook authored by Oda, with a sketch of Mihawk with commentary) which talks about no one being able to wield Yoru but Mihawk.
Normally you would think this applies only to current day, as in who is currently alive in the world, since Roger is dead, but if Yoru was already the strongest blade it would have existed in the Roger and Xebecs era and still didn't choose them as it's owner.
Therefore one could then say, none of the possessed the qualities to wield the strongest sword.
