But any random shmo with Maiden powers can just walk in and take the Relic.

If they know about it and know where the vault is. The idea is to get the new Maiden to join the brotherhood, train them, and be able to trust them. Odds are, the Spring Maiden that Raven met probably had no idea where the vault's entrance is. Interesting thought is what do they do when someone obtains the Maiden powers who is unsavory? The mention of it possibly transferring to an attacker makes you wonder if it has happened before and what the typical response is in that event. More than likely for the sake of Remnant, hunt them down, and either have an intended candidate kill them, or just outright kill them. They can't have any random person have the powers, otherwise you get Raven and Cinder, as in no loyalty to their cause with their own agenda's, and with the unlikelyness of being able to force them to join you, and the extracting tech Ironwood had in V3 being experimental and recent, its more likely they'd just kill the current holder and hope the next one is more cooperative.
