1) We never saw Penny's Semblance, we don't even know if she discovered it.

2) Pyrrha's Semblance is OP by design, but it has it's limits. For starters, the obvious fact that harder tasks take more effort and energy on her part, so even if she can, say, throw seven trucks at once, doing so would be tiresome and impractical.

Destroying weapons is most likely not so simple to do, since they are covered by their user's Aura, which is the very reason they don't break a bit even if, say, you slice a tree in half with them.

And of course, anyone who isn't carrying metal or does not rely on metal, is someone that Pyrrha cannot really manipulate to make their attacks easier to avoid, thus removing one of her key strategies.

3) Emerald's is actually far less OP than Pyrrha's. It's just creating an Hallucination.

Just using it on more than 1 person was difficult for her, as we saw back in V3. And of course, anyone can just realize that, say, the Emerald in front of them is not real, and thus the Hallucination loses effectiveness.

And of course, if Emerald loses focus for even a moment, out goes the Hallucination, as we saw in her fight with Amber.

And if Emerald puts no real effort into it we get things like her Ruby Hallucination in V4, which looked less like Ruby and more like a Hologram of Ruby.

4) "Aura Drain" is already a thing for the Semblances. It is known and has been known for years. And using Semblances too much can easily make the user tired, as we saw with Weiss in Volume 1.
