Just coming back to this I forgot Nero gained his spectral arm power long before dying to Agnus and DTing. So I'd go further to say Yamato didn't do anything to cause his Stand at all, it's just a full body expression of his spectral limb power imo.
Then why did he loose it on 5? Sure, he got the arms back, now upgraded to wing arms, but where is the rrst of the body?
He hasn't. The only move it comes out in though is the last hit of Showdown.
I've always assumed that Yamato acted as a crutch for Nero's ability, so when he lost it at the start of 5, along with his Devil Bringer, he had to relearn how to use his DT abilities. It also didn't help that he also ended up relying on his Cyberarm.
If Capcom end up making 6, with Nero retaking the center stage as main character, it probably would have that as an character arc. As I recall, Dante and Vergil had years, not to mention decades of learning, plus they were already aware of their possible power set due to Sparda.
It just seems that Nero has a more steep learning curve due to being 1/4th Devil, opposed to Vergil/Dante's 1/2.
