Silver Chariot and Magician's Red are both Close-Range types, as is The Hand. That doesn't mean they can all use the time-stop. It's supposed to be Star Platinum's ability. The original plan when Araki wrote Stardust Crusaders was that The World would have the abilities of all the Tarot card Stands, but he realized that would be too powerful and scaled it back so that it only had the same ability as Star Platinum. It's not intrinsic to all Close-range type Stands.

Besides, Crazy Diamond already has it's own ability and a C in Developmental Potential, not really high enough to warrant unlocking a whole new ability. I think what they are trying to say, is that because Crazy Diamond can return things back to their original state or "turning time back" for that object/person. It's sort of like a more controlled version of Eri's quirk from My Hero Academia. Saying that they are all alike.

If that where actually how Crazy Diamond worked, I'd be inclined to give it some thought. But it's not. Crazy Diamond doesn't "turn back time" on objects, it fixes them. People Josuke heals don't lose their memories of what happened, and sometimes Crazy Diamond even straight up alters objects rather than fixing them.

If it were really time-alteration, then Crazy Diamond should be able to bring dead people back to life. But that's a no-go.
