It's possible that their might be ways for people to develope other powers through training(unlike semblances being the overall expression of themselves the other powers are more like aspects of themselves). I think that the schnees because of their set power(for whatever reason) have over a long period of time( I think starting with old Nick) learned these aspects and passed the knowledge on to the next generation, thus giving them an early advantage over others that need to learn it over many years.
