When they say that the Echo manifests differently for everyone, it still seems as though all of those different ways still relate to interactions between sentient beings on the "soul level". Someone might technically speak all languages, but it seems to be because their soul is resonating with others' in a way that they understand as best as possible what is meant to be conveyed and how also to convey something back to that person. Someone might technically see visions of the past, but it seems to be because their soul is resonating with others' in a way that they can sense/perceive strong memories as if they were their own. As far as we know, clairvoyance would be a solo superpower whereby there's nothing for your soul to resonate with. It'd be like the Echo manifesting as the ability to fly or shapeshift.

"It manifests differently for everyone." probably doesn't mean, "It can manifest as anything."
Imagine if it did, though! Can you imagine being the Charlie Brown of Echo powers?
