Sure, it's simple. But he has an entire Volume gap to train.

Sometimes, the potential of the weapon doesn't matter, the user's skill does.

Just look at Ruby. If anyone else besides Qrow uses CR, they would lose an ear or an arm. or their face. This.

Jaune's not the macho-man, he doesn't burn like Yang, or move like Ruby; He's just a guy. Someone with a sword and sheild. Human. Realistic. Believable. Relatable. Fallible. That's what's so great about his character. He doesen't need fancy tech, or aura, or semblance to be who he is (ex. Ruby needs CR to fight effectively). Jaune just is. He's a moral, smart, dedicated character who just want's to do what's right. He's like Ruby in that regard, and as Episode One stated, "Mabye victory lies in... a simple, more honest touch". Jaune is great because he's Jaune, not because he's Super-Jaune. Yang's already our Super Saiyan. We don't need another.
