Spirited and I discussed that actually. The ability did not start off as summoning "All Schnee can summon, we have for generations" This means that, at osme point in time, they did not have that ability. Perhaps the Schnee semblance is parasitic in nature, any time someone joins the schnee bloodline their descendants inherit their semblance as part of the Schnee package, which includes glyphs, summoning, and any other abilities we have yet to see.
