People took Cinder so literally. =/ When she said "taking away what power they have", she meant it figuratively.

For example, Pyrrha always wins tournament fights because she can control metal and most people use metal weapons. If she gets into a tough spot where her opponent is too much for her to handle on her own, she uses her Semblance to just repel her enemies' weapons, like she did with Mercury. But if she fights someone who does not use metal weapons, in an environment devoid of metal, then she has to rely on her skills. The playing field will be made even. Her power is "taken away."
