When it comes to weapons history, as always, that's people going too far in the other direction. It's true that some of the existing ones referred to as such were likely things like horse goads instead, but one-handed military flails definitely existed. They're too frequently depicted in art, and there's a couple of extant examples.

What we do know about them is that they were really rare, though. The larger two-handed varieties that were based on threshing flails were much more common.
There's some interesting discussion about it in this article, second-to-last segment; results are pretty much as you said, though. Apparently scholars are still rather divided on the topic.
