That's not how it works. Just because they're all Close-Range types doesn't mean they're all the same. 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.
