Because if that's the case, her semblance is great when she's not in active battle, but during actual fighting Emerald may need to concentrate, so she couldn't fight anymore.

Then again, that was disproven by the V5 finale. Iirc it's been stated before that emotional outbursts can unintentionally activate semblances, which is something we've seen happen a couple times. For example, Weiss at the Charity in V4, Yang's done it several times in heated conversation and of course, Emerald in the V5 finale, so I think that instance where she didn't need to in the finale is the exception rather than the rule.
