This is basically the same case as oxygen dependency. Well it does make sense. Eobard was so fast in Season one, that was practically the only way to beat him. You're missing the point. That weakness applies to ANYONE. The point of weakness is to point out weaknesses that are specific to a certain character or category. Otherwise, it just floods pages with unneeded information. Do you need to be told 2 plus 2 make 4? No. It's basic information it doesn't even need to be mentioned. When Thawne essentially needs to be erased from existence in order to stay dead, then yes, it certainly only applies to him. While I'm on the fence about this one, but I'd argue that in this context ancestry as a weakness only applies to Eobard due to the fact he's the only one in that unique setting who had a readily accessible ancestor who could be killed. Exactly. He is one of our few villains from the future and therefore is the only one that weakness comes up for.
