What's the deal with followers and bows?

Why is it that followers use any weapon type you give them apart from bows? For ranged attacks they always pull out what looks to be a Hunting Bow, which doesn't even show in their inventory, despite the fact I've given them a Daedric Bow smithed up to Legendary. It's pretty annoying and should be changed. Unless anyone knows a good reason for it?

Lydia often uses the Legendary Ebony Bow I gave her, but does still sleep with her Hunting Bow out and occasionally equips it instead. Is kind of annoying, and I just hope that one day there'll be a patch to allow you complete control over a Follower's or Spouse's belonging.

its annoying when the iron hand guy, despite having a legendary hammer of might uses his damn bow all the time, I gave him a legendary deadric bow so taht it might at least be effective
