Hasn't this always been the case in Dungeons and Dragons?

You can hold the weapon in one hand and shoot it, but there is no way to pull back the string, pull a bolt from your case, and put it on the crossbow without a free hand.

It could be done in 3.5 with custom magic items (with spells from the Spell Compendium) but that was it.

No matter how skilled you are with your hand crossbow, it still isn't a handgun.
