Those are not changes, that is a different semblance.

your semblance could probably save one or two lives but it's kind of pointless in the long run Hmm... riiight.... that's why After The Fall dedicates it's time to the nonexistent mission of team cfvy rescuing a family from grimm. Or all the other times they have to defend a settlement from grimm. or settlements that get destroyed by grimm in general. Or how in Field Trip we see missions like escorting civilians while they move between dangerous territories,

or defending villages due to increased grimm attacks,

or protecting borders,

or search and rescue missions like the missing trader from a village,

or protecting workers while they fix buildings like the vale wall.

And these ae just the ones we actually know of from the show. They were written down on the different mission screens in Field Trip.

I get that you can say "yeah, but rwby is dumb, if i don't like something i'll just ignore it" but seriously what the hell?

Imagine the a village or a bandit camp getting attacked by grimm. a pack of grimm is getting in and while some people have weapons they are getting killed. Are you truly saying that a semblance that would let a family have temporaty aura is pointless?

A part of the infrastructure like a bridge is broken in an area that might have grimm. The maintenance person doesn't have their aura unlocked, they're just a builder.

oh, a family locked themselves in the basement while their farm hot attacked by grimm. the mission is to get them out. Are you saying that the mission doesn't have more chance of success if they all get aura?

Oh Right, and all the freaking bounty missions that Qrow saw in volume 5! Don't you think if you have to find a wounded person and bring them back it would be better if they have a defence on them?

I truly can't fathom how you think that a semblance that can protect people is pointless. And I truly can't understand how you can just put a blindfold on and ignore what the show blatantly stated and pretend it doesn't matter. "I'm going to make up arguments that contradict canon just for the sake of disagreeing."

You know what? Fine. I'm dropping this idea. Unless someone that actually watches the show has anything to add.
