I believe Big Mom did awaken her fruit, but it happened so, so long ago and she has been established as one of the strongest people in the world for so much time that we wouldn't even perceive it as abnormal. I mean, if Oda came and said that the ability to control souls from others instead of only hers comes from her awakening I would totally buy it (both Carmel and kid Linlin only showed the ability to give life with their own soul, the ability of controlling souls beyond her own has only been done by her adult self), same if he argued Incarnations are part of it (since she creates "small Soru Soru users" that act beyond herself).
I mean, of course Doflamingo had to stress the concept of awakening because Oda wanted us to learn more about it, but remember that he casually casted his Break White with no further explanation some chapters before going all out. I don't see why Linlin should be talking about her awakening as something special if she has been doing it for, let's say, forty, fifty years.
