Anon, take note of these facts:

1-Qrow is not Ruby's biological father. Just her honorary uncle (though he really is Yang's biological uncle).

2-Qrow saved Ruby and Yang's lives when they were kids, right in their faces at that.

3-Taiyang was suffering of depression at the time due to Summer's apparent death combined with Raven having already abandoned him and Yang years prior.

4-Qrow was able to train Ruby. If only because she went to Signal, and Qrow is a teacher at Signal. Knowing where she lived + being a friend/teammate of Tai also meant he could easily give her private lessons.

And that is why Qrow had a bigger influence on Ruby than Taiyang did, despite not being related to her by blood. First, he was her Hero, literally, while Taiyang was too depressed to be there for her and Yang for the most part.

Then, he taught her, trained her into what she is now, which would improve the already-existant image he has in her eyes.

And given he was Tai's old teammate, and since, unlike his sister, he's not an asshole, Qrow helped raise the girls, especially when Taiyang wasn't in a state to do it himself.

Blood, genetics, only set Nature. But Nature is just the base. Nurture is what makes people who they are. And when it comes to Nurture, blood is irrelevant.
