"I'm more inclined towards it's more to advance Ozpin's agenda than anything about family, so to speak."

You sound like Ironwood.

Let's see: Before V4, Taiyang first was depressed over Raven ditching him, Summer took the chance and moved forward, then she died and he became depressed, then both of his daughters almost die.

From that, Taiyang became overprotective of them.

Qrow, meanwhile, while keeping an eye, encouraged them. He encourages Yang to find her mother. He turned Ruby into the prodigy she is, and encouraged her to make her journey to Mistral.

So old-Taiyang was the kind of man who would rather have them stop if it means they will remain safe. Qrow is the kind of man who instead encourages them to achieve their goals, but still watches over them as best as he can.
