I like your argument that there just isn't enough time to explore this plot line. I think that makes sense. In regards to her titan scream having a different effect...After Zeke was inserted into the stomac of a random titan and then reassembled from sand/clay by an unknow child in a twilight dream world, I have given up at measuring their powers. I think the fact that non of the titans Annie was influencing were created by her spinal fluid (as far as we know) kind of cancels out her lesser level of control over them. And there is no reason to expect two siblings, even sharing both parents, to have equal levels of power in an anime.

In regards to how it could be used as a plot device, I think that the only real way it would work as a plot device would be offer Annie an interesting set of choices if she were to get out of the crystal while the Warrior unit is still active in the story and a choice is available between the Warriors and the Eldians. I have a hard time accepting that they would keep her in the crystal for all of this time, show us that the crystal can be breached with the War Hammer Titan, and have Arman talking to her for a chapter or two, without meaning to wake her up befoer the end of the series. It is Isayama's style to use flashbacks to the past to explain a persons present state of mind, and I feel that there are still unexplained things about Annie, so I am expecting so amount of flashback to her time in Marley when she wakes up.
