So basically Kishimoto is a puppet and he got to decide shit about his own series. I thought that the manga was good until after the Pain arc (where one editor left), but seeing that even that editor was an influential idiot makes me dislike the manga up to the Pain arc as well."

I think Seel's comment from the Kobayashi interview sums it up nicely. Kishimoto just made crap up as he went. If people were to keep pressuring him on technical aspects, he's probably going to tap William Shatner and be like "get a life". I don't think this one can be put to rest with logic. I don't think we can confirm whether Naruto has permanently gotten his Sage mode either: there's plenty of precedence for the gift of chakra being temporary. Even for Sasuke's rinnegan, since Kakashi was able to receive a double Mangekyou by being "possessed" by Obito's chakra, but lost them upon Obito leaving. Dude, have you seen the last 2 chapters of Naruto Gaiden, he used his improved sage mode against Shin Uchiha. And Sasuke used his Rinnegan in The Last and said that he was the only one that could track Kaguya's chakra with his rinnegan as an adult, so he still has it
