It does! Take a look at the feat’s third benefit. Does Crossbow Expert let you fire a hand crossbow and then fire it again as a bonus action?

What does that all mean for a hand crossbow? It means Crossbow Expert makes it possible to fire a hand crossbow more than once with a feature like Extra Attack, provided that you have enough ammunition and you have a hand free to load it for each shot. Second, the act of drawing the ammunition is included in the attack and therefore doesn’t require its own action and doesn’t use up your free interaction with an object on your turn. First, you’re assumed to be drawing-that is, extracting with your hand-the ammunition from a container. To dig deeper into this point, take a look at the following sentence in the definition of the ammunition property: “Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack.” The sentence tells us two important things. You need to load each bolt into the weapon, and doing so requires a hand. The latter property requires you to have a bolt to fire from the hand crossbow, and the hand crossbow isn’t going to load itself (unless it’s magical or a gnomish invention). You’re still limited, however, by the fact that the weapon has the ammunition property. The upshot is that you can fire it more than once if you have a feature like Extra Attack. The first benefit of the feat lets you ignore the loading property of the hand crossbow if you’re proficient with that weapon. Do the first and third benefits of Crossbow Expert turn a hand crossbow into a semiautomatic weapon? That element in Crossbow Expert shows that some of the character’s expertise with one type of thing-crossbows, in this case-transfers to other things. The second benefit of Crossbow Expert is such an element, as is the first benefit of Great Weapon Master. When designing a feat with a narrow use, we consider adding at least one element that can benefit a character more broadly-a bit of mastery that your character brings from one situation to another. The second benefit of Crossbow Expert prevents you from suffering that disadvantage, whether or not the ranged attack is with a crossbow. When you make a ranged attack roll within 5 feet of an enemy, you normally suffer disadvantage. Is it intentional that the second benefit of Crossbow Expert helps ranged spell attacks?
