Well, I think the issue lies in how we typically think of kakuja in terms of the kagune presentation. But in reality, it's a matter of having those mutated Rc cells.

We're told all Washuus are kakuja, but none of them have in-series manifested a kagune we would consider to be a kakuja. Even Rize's kagune seemed normal, in spite of knowing that she had the mutated cells all along. Her kakuhou carry those mutated cells to the hybrids made from her, but they still have to develop their kagune through building up a supply of Rc cells.

I think in the case of the Washuus, the mutated cells are there but may not be fully capable of forming what we typically think of as a kakuja. (IE: the super-awesome kagune)
