It's not like Ozpin never told him anything. He did tell Qrow about things, but he no doubt left out certain details in a way where Qrow didn't notice that he wasn't getting the full story. Plus, we also know that Ozpin is fully capable of outright lying.

Let's take what Ozpin told RNJRWBY about the Relic of Knowledge for example of how he most likely handled talking to Qrow.

Ozpin: Of course. (detaches the Relic from his hip) The Relic of Knowledge has a wonderful, and incredibly dangerous ability. (the Relic grows into it's original size as it was found) Its user can ask any question, and the lamp will provide an answer.

Ozpin places the Relic down, and it floats on the table.

Ren: (in awe) Intriguing...

Blake: That's incredible...

Ozpin: Indeed. However, it's not without drawbacks. The lamp cannot tell of events that have yet to happen, and it will only ever answer three questions every one hundred years.

Yang: Well, I guess that's not so bad. Adds a lot of pressure though.

Nora: Then let's put it to a vote! What should we ask first? Oh! Can we ask for more questions? CAN WE ASK FOR MORE QUESTIONS?!

Ren: (facepalming) They're not wishes...

Ozpin: (chuckling) I'm afraid you won't be able to ask it anything at the moment. (Nora grunts in frustration) The questions were used before I sealed it away.

Ruby: Well, at least now we know what it is. And we'll be sure to keep it safe!

What Ozpin lied about:


 * He said they won't be able to ask the Relic anything because all three questions were already used before he sealed it away. We know that he had the Huntsman Academies built to hide the Relics in 80 years ago, so the 100 year time span isn't up. Yet Jinn had 2 more questions available.

What Ozpin left out:


 * Grimm are drawn to the Relics. This was extremely important to know, considering they were taking a train full of civilians.


 * There's a mystical being living in the lamp, and she's the one who answers your questions, not the lamp itself. Oscar expressed that Ozpin was trying to keep them from bringing Jinn out.

What Ozpin told them about the Relic of Knowledge seemed, to them, like they were being told everything they needed to know. He told them just enough to satisfy their curiosity, while keeping some things to himself.

I believe this is how he treated Qrow, Raven, and even Summer.
