"I always thought Apple Bloom would have something related to crafts, Sweetie Belle would have something musical, and Scootaloo would have something relating to her scooter." With the exception of Apple Bloom's cutie mark, the Crusaders' cutie marks do indicate something about the talents you brought up here. The shield which the cutie mark depicts contain an apple (for Apple Bloom indicating her relation with the Apple family), a musical note (for Sweetie Belle indicating her singing talent), and a wing with a lightning bolt in it (for Scootaloo which relates to her talent in scooting). These talents were just treated as secondary to their primary ones, that being their talent in helping others find out their true talents.

Additionally, I interpret the cutie marks being similar as not only indicating the fact that they share the same primary talents, but they also symbolize the strong bond that they have built together since they first formed the CMC.
