Southend Victoria? It is as close to Central London as Reading is.
Why would a commuter from Southend want to take a Crossrail train rather
than the much more direct line to Fenchurch St?

Rather depends on the commuter's ultimate destination, I suppose.

But with Crossrail, they'd have achoice of destinations, wouldn't they?

(Like the lucky Asford commuters, slow to Cannon Street, or wafted to King's
Cross; choice is not always a bad thing.

Nor is change ;o)
