In fact, silver sword in the novels was used only against certain types of monsters (necrophages, cursed ones, shapeshifters, wraiths, vampires). Other monsters, like draconids or insectoids, were not harmed by contact with silver, so the steel, due to its hardiness, were more useful. Division steel=humans, silver=monsters is only a common stereotype. However, CDPR decided it would be much more instinctive for players.
