Also, do you really think she put more effort against Jaune than Neo just because she created a sword? That's flawed logic if I've ever seen it. Both also require different minimum efforts, and Cinder was outright playing with Jaune as opposed to trying to get Neo to back off. The point she should've known what Neo was capable of, and thus try fighting with her swords right off the bat, since that's what she specializes in. But she didn't, and thus was on the losing end for most of the fight. And if Cinder didn't get jabbed in her bad eye, the fight would've gone on a bit longer. That's the point SYUTK is trying to make, why use her sword against a weaker opponent and not a stronger one? Seems quite nonsensical to be as well.
