Probably lack of skilled workmen, what makes an expensive production, confronted with an existing alternative, what prevents the formation of those skilled workmen.

If they had any chance, possibly the XIVth century plague crisis, ended it, making handwork more rare and impulsing industrial methods.

In the case of Spain, both sides, muslims and christians, were early adherents of crossbows.
