I think it's less rigid than that. Not sure how much water this statement still holds, but Miles once stated, "if you're Tony Hawk's kid, you're probably gonna learn to skateboard".

Building on that, I see Semblance as a sort of reflection of who you are as a person. While most people develop a unique identity distinct from their parents, members of the Schnee family probably have a huge amount of their personal identity locked up in that family name and their legacy and all that stuff. Their Semblances are similar to the rest of their parents as a result of that.
