Oh my, Maki. You might actually be completely right. Let's see this scenario:

Jaune is raised in a normal family. His parents stresses in building up a good body and sword skills, but does not say a word about Aura and stuff. The reason behind this can be many: Maybe they think it's better that he discovers it himself, maybe they even disliked Aura.

In fact, Jaune's family may be proud with the fact that they were fighters who did not rely on fancy weaponry or special power during the war against the Grim. After all, there are no such things in the past. With just a sword and a shield his ancestors had treaded through bloodshed and came out alive in the bloodiest war in mankind's history.

The moral value here is especially huge. The lesson Jaune's character is most likely to present is that it was not the weapon, not the Dust, not even the Aura that defines the soul of a person. It is the person himself and his will that ultimately influences things for the better. If mankind had not resolved to fight off the Grimm in the past, it would not have mattered how many Dusts or Aura users they have.
