If we consider the fact that Yang said Tai shut down after they lost Summer and that Ruby and Yang were still children, with Ruby being a fairly young child, then it makes sense why Ruby would end up looking up to Qrow more. He was the only functional adult in her life during a pretty significant time in her childhood.

I like to imagine that, while Tai was shut down with depression, Qrow made a habit of stopping by their house whenever he could to check on all of them and make sure the kids were okay. So, while Tai was probably spending a lot of time just laying around, barely functioning, Qrow was there to hang out with the kids, make sure they had food, and help them feel better.
