Except Velvet's Semblance comes from her being so utterly devoid of character that not only does she have to rely on others for support outside of combat, she literally has to steal other people's weapons and movesets in order to be of use against opponents of any real skill or power.

Jaune, on the other hand, actually has a character. Besides, they already showed a glimpse of his Semblance back in V1. Signs point to it being some kind of reflective shield.
