Oh cool, a sword of detect evil - Star Trek: Website

It makes perfect sense. The paladin found the exploit.
Suck to be neutral lol.

Actually based on how it’s worded it would have no effect on neutral aligned creatures on the Good/Evil axis.

Which would make the sword pretty shitty since Good or Neutral covers close to 2/3s of the monster manual, and may or may not apply to some bandits.
