He does not have it in the base universe because he was not actually a Joestar. Is this Sarcasm? No, it's true.

The reason Jotaru and co awakened their stand is because Dio who took Johnathans body awakened a stand while inside of it, the stand that awakens if Dio has Joestar blood is always The World.

In the new universe since he is not a vampire but has The World it must mean that version of Dio did have Joestar Blood, if not was directly in place of Johnathan as an actual Joestar.

Dio from Part 7 normal universe did not have The World

This is driven home by the fact that when he gets Johnathans blood The Worlds power increases, it is a Joestar stand and it's likely all Joestar stands are special since they seem to be related to Jesus, himself with a special stand

Stands are connected to the Soul and nothing else. Not your body, not your family and also not Jesus. Diego and Dio havw the same Stand because they are counterparts and have pretty much the same soul (Of course not exactly the same). Normal Diego didn't have the World because he doesn't have a Stand at all. Diego only controlls the Scary Monster-Virus but it's not his Stand. Dio or Diego also never got Jonathan's blood. Dio got Joseph's blood but that made him stronger because he is a vampire.
