Unlike the sharigan, the Byakugan is a physical eye. It manifests or it doesn't. Learning to activate the eye can be done in multiple ways, including through combat training.

It seems that while pureblooded Hyuga have a "pure byakugan" (White/lavender normal eyes), i guess Himawari's can be considered an impure byakugan. Perhaps Impure ones are more difficult to activate.

Anyway, it's still a KKG and we've seen repeatedly that KKG do not necessarily are guaranteed to pass on.
