Well, when you consider the married couples that we've seen like the Schnee's(which Jacques married into), the Belladonna's, and the Ren's, all of which share the same surname with their respective significant other, you'd think the same would apply to Tai and Summer if they had officially married. But Yang didn't call her step-mom Summer Xiao Long, she called her Summer Rose, so its easy to come to the conclusion that, unlike the other couples, the two never officially tied the knot, and Ruby was born out of wedlock potentially explaining why she took her mother's surname(though admittedly there could have been a different reason for this).

Of course thinking about it, Raven has never been called Raven Xiao Long by any official source either, so you could say the same about her, but that could also easily be explain by a divorce before she left.
