^Except some things:

1-If some characters among the protagonists (in this case Weiss and Blake and probably even Jaune, with Yang, Nora and Ren on their way soon) have gotten at least some character development, then you would expect the MC to get at least some. But no, she hasn't. For 2 freaking volumes. 2 freaking years that it has taken RT to start to develop her.

Don't count Ozpin's "you got silver eyes" line as indication of Ruby getting CD later. It only means she might have an interesting role in at least one arc later (not counting, you know, the overall plot), but not necesarily that she'll get CD. There's a pretty clear difference between both.

2-She was never shown to be really dependant on Yang to start with. She could very clearly take care of herself with no real problem, and even in the social aspect she didn't need Yang's help that much. She apparently got friends back at Signal. Sure, she may have had some difficulty making friends at Beacon, but it's not like she would stay friendless there forever. Hell, she basically got one the very same day she arrived at Beacon.

Even the shy aspect of her personality is almost-completely removed right at the beginning of the show, the moment they get sent to the Emerald Forrest. She never really acts shy after that, with the only possible, arguable exception being Ruby apparently not getting a partner for the dance. Even the social awkwardness trait is questionable, given how she hasn't shown any real, noticeable problems at socializing compared to real socially-awkward people in Real Life, and much less when compared to Fictional examples.
