Pretty much all of the factions which had enough spare troops for that to be useful also had very little regard for the lives of their troops, and would rather get better troops than get better equipment for the troops. So other orcs, like mordor, could have crossbows, correct? Not neccesarily. They may have fit for orcs to use, but the orcs didn't use them, as far as we know from Tolkien's writings.

& Tolkien never mentioned crossbows in the first place...
