From what I seen, the characters rarely use a Semblance as their main form of attack. Only Glynda seems to heavily rely on her Semblance. The others depend on their weapons. That is why Pyrrha does not just go Magneto on everyone, and Emerald can only affect a few people at a time. It seems fairly limited to not overshadow the weapons. The way Dust was explained in the World of Remnant, it seemed that its potential had barely been cracked in-universe. And I'm sure that Dust infusion is considered archaic for a reason. Or all the characters would have it like a vaccination shot. Yet it is rare. I think because it is easy to mess up.
