Bows do not, and for most of the game's lifespan, have never benefitted from the two-handed talent. It's often been paradoxically reccomended to dual-wield bows for full archer builds, which is pretty silly from a narrative standpoint. But it was more or less fine-ish for balance reasons, and people could just flavor their weapons differently.

But now, we have the Howling Handshot.

Due to also qualifying as a sword weapon, and being quite heavy to begin with, the Handshot benefits from the hefty +20 SWA from being two-handed. Coupled with it's very powerful 100% skill scaling, it rather blatantly outclasses every other bow option in the game. The arb rework will make it less appealing for arbs, sure (As they need to use their offhand for a special armament most of the time) but for other bow-users there is virtually no reason to use anything else, even if you have no use for a sword at all. The only real reason anyone does use alternatives is because the handshot is in such high demand (Due to blatantly outclassing every other option) that it can be difficult to acquire one.

So yeah. Now that that particular pandora's box has already been opened, I think it'd be better to just make all bows and crossbows able to benefit from Full Swing. (While Steady is certainly more thematic, it wouldn't actually make other bow options start to catch up to the handshot.)
