Apples don't fall far from the tree.

Whitely can't be ambitious?

All three Schnee siblings show this trait.

A lot of speculation regarding motivations; I think the possible answer(s) lay closer to what we have been shown.

Remember what the two Schnee children say to each other during their first exchange -- Weiss hasn't seen Whitely in a while, to which he says he has grown up, and that she hasn't been living in /that/ household for some time.

Weiss mentions to her teammates that one of the reasons she dislikes the WF is because their operations indirectly made life with her family at home more difficult -- in a family that already -expects- perfection.

No one finds it curious that it is only the women who are indisposed or who have left? Mother is an alcoholic & not present? Winter, the older sister, leaves the house as soon as able to enroll in the military? To which her father still has arguments over with General Ironwood because Jacque needs and would like Winter, "at home?" Weiss develops her potential skills as a Huntress then opts not to enroll Atlas's academy, but at Beacon? Refuses any contact at all with her father?

Remember, it is Jacques who  -married- into the family.

Apples don't fall from the tree. Regardless if he too, is a victim, Whitely is /learning/ very well.
