It wishes it was Mogg Fanatic. It wishes it was that white archer that taps for the same effect. Ultimately, it wishes it was a good card.

It isn't a horrible creature, it fits into soldier tribal and its a slightly less flexible Mogg fanatic that can be played in a mono white deck. Not great but not bad.
Magic is way too deep to make such blanket statements of "strictly better."

White does have something like this: Icatian Javelineers. It was even reprinted in Time Spiral, so it's modern-legal (and it was a common Fallen Empires card, so it's dirt-cheap if you want one.)
Yeah, this can be sacrificed the turn it comes into play, but I would say that the ability to target non-combat utility creatures is more important (and the way the Javelineers stay around to chump-block or benefit from later Crusade-style effects is nice, too.)

The same place the Gwyllions, Selkies, Hags, Noggles came from.
What you need to consider is that white doesn't have anything like this.
Then this card becomes significantly less horrible.
