Because it's still a bit confusing. If they were all Ymir's descendants (I mean blood-related here), then they would all be "royal"-blooded? Before this chapter, I thought that when Ymir gained her powers, all of her people were suddenly linked to the Coordinate, making them subjects of Ymir. But now... And how were the 9 shifters created? Is it as someone said before, Maria Rose and Sina were eaten by 3 persons, making 3x3=9 Titans, or is it as the ending of season 2 says: six other people eating Ymir's body (and the three daughters of course). Because we saw people behind the King in chapter 122 when he told them to eat Ymir, but hard to tell if they were eating too.

If other people ate Ymir and some of her power transferred to them, that would be a good way to separate the royal family from other Subjects of Ymir, because as you mentioned, if all Subjects of Ymir are her descendants, they'd all be part of the royal family. If they ate her without having a blood relation, it might explain why it's in a diluted form unable to use the full power of the Founding Titan.

I'm guessing the Pure Titans must have come later since we've only seen them created through injections. I don't know how someone discovered that, but they wouldn't have had the tech to do that during Ymir's time.
