An explanation: if you want to have a strong crossbowman, you need lots of cash. The best way to get cash is through drops. Best way to get drops are through soloing as a pikeman/archer. Even commandos have an easier time contributing to the success of runs by virtue of their ability to shield to create the much needed shieldwall. Lower level crossbowmen don't have many options when it comes to playstyle.
It might be worth noting that xbow is one of the easiest classes to get kills on as a low level. The reload speed and accuracy may not be great but it is pretty nice to one shot most normal mode enemies as a t2. You also don't really suffer in melee the same way archers do. Although click is right, it is a pretty expensive class once you are higher level.
