Where am i wrong ?

1- It's 2 ascendancy points per level of difficulty : Scion got no major node in normal.

2- Scion got 40 points in 2 stats : From my test, Scion need stat early in the game not in act3 where the trials are.
Specialized classes doesn't have stats they got stronger bonus (dmge, speed, crit, armor...).

3- Scion can have a second start zone at 5 points : 5 points means last difficulty level. When we are over lvl60 right ?

4- It's not a copy of what other classes have. It's less strong by far.
Everythinig is weaker than the original but you can choose your bonus.
Juggernaut, assassin are jokes compared to the original.
You don't have access to the real strong point of specialized classes.

6- People are going to start Scion and notice that it's less op than they thought because of the inherents limitations.

Right? I think the knee-jerk reactions about the Scion being the "only" and "OP" class are over-reactions. Maybe with a full-tree-reset and already possessing certain uniques, she reaches max potential, but starting a new Scion and leveling her to take advantage of the Ascendant class isn't really all that awesome.
