The bluesteel crossbow is very different to this. In the case of the bluesteel crossbow, it's a new weapon to fill a gap, with no particular regards to combat mechanics.

This is a weapon that is loaded with vastly different stuff, crafted very differently, and with completely different stats. Just because it has bluesteel in its main recipe, and has a range longer than a spear, doesn't make it a bluesteel crossbow. They both serve completely different functions combat wise, should you care to look into it further.

And not only that, but I'd like to point out that the bluesteel crossbow got 75% support before deletion. So even if it was, it's not all that bad anyway.
