Copying large enchantments that are not direct impact on your board state is rough when your already playing a 4cmc commander that takes a go around to come online and Auras provide cheaper, more immediate value on your board. Also, the scy 2 and untap effect on Yenna is very underrated, helps filter through cards but only happens when you copy Auras. Naturally this means to use Yenna to her full potential we will want to use Auras! This deck is not intended to just be loading up Yenna with Auras.
