Well remember how I said every Prime Infectant is slightly different from their parent? Usually the children have most of the traits and abilities of the parent but they all have a unique difference. These slight differences come in the form of mutations that either hinder or bolster the survivability of the child. The parent cannot choose and is usually unaware of the child's mutation unless it's physically apparent. Gamma having no regeneration factor for instance is a mutation.

Beta's mutation is simple: Free Will. He was born without a direct connection his mother's mental network, so he was able to develop his cunning intellect and resourcefulness without her ever knowing. He learned to use guns by simply observing his foes and even learned how to mess with politics behind the scenes rather than attack upfront. This is what makes him dangerous. He even was plotting to overthrow his mother before her death, but decided to simply leave her fate to the UAE while he escaped their homeworld's destruction. Beta doesn't want to risk creating an offspring that is just as cunning as he is and with a mutation he might not know about.
