We should also take in account that we don't truly know what a Guardian is. All we know is that:


 * It's a symbol of hope


 * It's Ozpin's counter to Cinder's plan

Ruby doesn't need to become the Guardian for the plot to work or to get development. She has gone further than any other character against Cinder even though she's only your typical girl who gets in a lot of troubles by mere luck. If Ruby doesn't get the Guardian role, how is that going to make any remarkable difference? Perhaps she will remain the same standard protagonist or maybe she will find another way to become another Guardian but. in the end. Pyrrha was chosen because she's above Ruby. When Ruby is ready: She will be chosen. Just not now. Forcing Ruby into the role even though she's not ready isn't plot wise. She's a prodigy in terms of combat but in everything else? Below most characters.
