I think the reason is simpy because BBC is also supposed to act as long range attacker against slow / stationary units. That's why BBC is more expensive than Treb even though BBC has less range & attack damage.

BBT has slow projectile speed, but once it hits the target, anything with <110 HP will die instantly. Cannon Galleon has slow projectile speed to narrow its role into pure anti-coastal buildings unit (IIRC, in pre HD version you can use attack ground with Cannon Galleon to make it hits enemy units more accurately if you're able to predict enemy movement).
