^ Well, a crossguard is designed to stop other swords from chopping off hands or fingers... not some appendage body horror that´s more aligned to "thrust through your chest or stomach" or "chop off your head from the shoulders." or "pepper you full with crystallized shards" or simply. "tear off your limbs one by one"

Compared with those targets then no wonder why CCG doesn´t bother with a crossguard for their sword-based weaponry... It would be of no protection for the user at all since it was designed as a counter measure against other humans not ghouls.
