That would be extreamly unfair to the other three member of the the team. When chosen Ruby and Jaune do seam to be the least likely for the job. But Ozpin sees there hidden potential. He knows Ruby's past and how she jumps in when nessery. I'm pretty sure he knew Jaune faked his way into Beacon but let slide for reasonsof his own.

Cardin does't count he and the rest of his team, in my opion, are spear holders fillers for the main charicters to play of of. Look at there outfits except for Sonic they are basicly the same plus hardly any color considering Ozpins speech. Team CFVY In the very little screen time they have had out shine team CRDL.

Back to your point. Ozpin is looking for those with the potential to lead when he assinged team leaders. Nothing can destroy a combat group faster than a bad leader. So choosing a leader for there personal grouth seems very short sighted.
