the fact that Monty says 'it boils down to, we need to be able to tell the story and not have people die', and how none of the soldiers Cinder attacked or White Fang Penny fought were killed as we didn't see any auras deactivated shows that it's not just Huntsmen who get unlocked aura. People like Mercury and Emerald have active auras and semblances, and yet we know for a fact that they aren't remotely Huntsmen/Huntsmen-in-training.

Saying that the only difference between combat academy students and soldiers and criminals who clearly all have unlocked aura is that only the foremost have the skill to become Huntsmen is like saying that only people who have qualifications in music will become the next Paul McCartney, as opposed to anyone who picks up an instrument at some point in their life and starts learning.

I highly doubt many people who grow up in a village that can be attacked at any point / in a kingdom where Huntsmen are regarded celebrities would deny themselves or their children an opportunity to defend themselves / be just as awesomely badass as those they idolise - and in doing so unlock their semblance, an incredible intrinsic power that is unique to them and their soul only (unless you're a Schnee apparently).

'Doing so is good, but not everyone will do it' is IMO not a valid reason for so many of the population of Remnant not unlocking their supposed potentials
