You must however keep in mind that that adds nothing but a horrible precedent to the narrative anon. As Chishio says, the "missing mom who was thought to be dead" is already in the narrative(Yang's mom), yet the show is horribly lacking in dead characters.

This story world is supposed to be nearly as dangerous as Attack on Titan, yet there are barely more dead characters than freaking Pokémon... Summer is the only one that we even know "could" have been killed by Grimm, touted as the scourge of humanity, to bring her back would undercut even that shred of competency from them... hell, you might as well wish Tukson back.

In those other stories you are talking about the character only shows up in stories where other characters die... it just isn't a surprise to bring back the dead in a world without death, not to mention the story usually explores what the loss of the character truly did to those effected first... which RWBY has not.
