Well I think Qrow was explaining using myths and legends so that Ruby could better understand what's happening. It'd be so random to just spring it up on her and be like "OH!! basically nobody has this power but you have it" or for him to tell her when she's a kid that "Oh, your mom had this OP power, you probably don't because it's rare". Besides, Summer is likely a sore spot for Qrow and Ruby- you wouldn't nonchalantly mention someone's deceased mom out of nowhere. We also aren't sure whether or not Qrow/Ozpin/Tai/etc. knows how the powers work or, if Ruby asked and Qrow DOES have answers, if Ruby herself can replicate it. The powers are new to her and when she used it last she basically went into a coma and woke up not knowing what happened so it'd make sense that she's hesitant.
