Indeed. The reason she is so famous is that a Semblance of magnetic manipulation is EXTREMELY useful for fighting armed opponents, who typically fight with weapons incorporating metal. Though she probably won't admit it, even to herself, I bet that a big reason for Pyrrha trying to be subtle with the use of her powers isn't just to keep her opponents from anticipating and countering her, but because she's "become the mask" to an extent and enjoys being the "Invincible Girl" instead of just an warrior who got majorly lucky by with her Semblance. If she ever fights someone able to neutralize her Semblance, such as Cinder or someone else who doesn't use metal in their arsenal, or someone able to stop Pyrrha from using her Semblance entirely somehow, she would be brought back down to normal, and maybe even do worse than average, due to her reliance on her Semblance.
