As Hokage however Naruto has much less actual time.

Second of all, it seems Boruto does consider the clone not the same thing. BlazeRelease wrote:

Well Sasuke wasn't going for a world tour. he was on a very dangerous and seriously important search mission. he basically did it for his own family and the village he wants to protect. You can't be a good dad when you're not around. No matter how perfectly justifiable his absence is, he's not there to be a dad to Sarada. It makes no sense to judge Naruto for juggling what is now the most important job in the world with his kids, but to refrain from judging Sasuke for only being a dad in the biological sense.

Again, it's perfectly understandable for Naruto to behave like this, since he knows he grew up perfectly fine despite all the shit he went through. It's also perfectly understandable for a child (he's 8 or something in the anime and 12 or something in the anime) to want to see his dad, especially when he used to see him a lot more.
