 Reasoning?
 
Not only are they exceptionally hard to mass (even in vanilla), which is pretty critical for archers, they're also longbows in LA, where everyone has like protection ~17 on their front line.  Jomon can cast flaming arrows, but then you'd rather have easily massed indie archers instead of resource expensive samurai archers, even if they do have shortbows.

 Well they're more durable and can hold their own in melee.  I am, however, perplexed why they received a precision nerf in cbm.
