As Leglonglas said, crossbow is very accurate and comparatively easier to aim. You also have to keep in mind that crossbowmen have proficiency in sword and shield combat, so they have an easier time fighting when enemies get too close. Due to their access and proficiency in shielding, they are also able to take over on shield walls in emergencies.
