The big point here is that calling it "Ruby's bloodline" implies that it is literally only a Rose family thing and that only people directly biologically related to Ruby can have these powers, when that is not true.

Referring to it in the broader sense of "people with silver eyes" prevents misunderstanding. While it is, indeed, genetic and part of a bloodline, it is most likely not restricted to a single family with close ties to Ruby and Summer. It can be something that can be traced back to the trunk of one or more trees across long, webbing branches, some of which may be tangled with the branches of other trees.
