Shooting a bow is nothing like using a crossbow, I do both and have since I was a little kid, and the projectiles dont even really behave similarily, bows require strength of body and lots of practice to be able to judge the aim point and a crossbow really does not, no they are extremely different. There is more to it, but that alone is enough.
I understand the point but I think it should stay the way it is.
I prefer bows as well, and think crossbows should be changed anyway, they should require a lower dexterity to use, but should have a higher action-point cost to use ( and probably should have a better chance to hit say 10% or 20% than a bow) to reflect the long time it takes to span a crossbow and load a bolt then aim and shoot. Crossbows already casue more damage and they by all estimations almost always should.
Larian has this mostly right, except the AP cost and dex requirement on crossbows.
