No, all of those had quiver slots which would use your special arrows in those slots just like they would use normal arrows you put in those slots and apply all relevant bonuses, like sneak attack and what else, using your normal attack.
This is the difference people are talking about. In BG3 they function like a whole own kind of ability which is impossible to use with other abilities, such as Battle Master Manoevres or Sneak Attack. Though I would want to research whether bonuses to ranged attacks and your equipped weapon's magical effects still apply before I say they don't, because I don't know if they do it not.
