Thats a hold over from vanilla when we a weak raptor strike and wing clip baseline, we also use to be able to equipt melee weapons and bows. If hunters where made today they would litterally only be able to use bows guns staves and polearms.
Then play a melee spec, hunters dont like surv at all, for god sake more people play surv then BM even tho its been like 10 spots higher in leader boards all expac.
As said, in Alpha it never made it to live or beta 
Also saying “Hunter’s don’t like surv at all” will have all the people over the years asking for a melee specc disagree with you.
I personally enjoy Survival’s current iteration but I will always have DoT (Ranged) surv as my fave.

The people asking for the melee spec are a whiny minority of people whoare looking for something in the wrong place, that would be like me wanting arcane to be melee because mages can use swords or warriors to have ranged spec becuase they can use bows and guns. The core and unarguable truth here is that no one plays the spec because hunters obviously dont want to play melee.
And obviously enough did to the point we now have a melee specc, wether you, I or anyone else agree with that decision is ignored by dev choice.
Ftr I was vocally against a melee specc when we had weekly threads asking for it as far back as patch 5.4 if not earlier.
It all boils down to a matter of taste, which wether you like it or not is an individual thing.

If you want to play ranged go play mm or any other caster, you are not special here. If someone has to play something else, you should too.
