My theory for that is that Glyphs are underneath the same subcategory of abilities. It's literally impossible that every single character would not eventually get a set of slightly similar abilities given how we've always been teased that the cast right now is just 'the tip of the iceberg'.

As a real world example to compare to Glyphs, it's like creating multiple tanks which looks similar, but has drastically different properties. It's still a tank, it's either just faster, specializes in a certain terrain or designed to destroy other tanks.
