that is not entirely true.

sometimes the child surpasses the parent. even if the parent is leagues ahead of them

kaguya had two dojutsu. it was not necessary for her to have the Rinnegan combing her byakugan and sharingan she can use it to a superior level hense IT with out a moon

Hagoromo on the other hand only has one dojutsu which encompasses the power of the both his Rinnegan and the sharingan. sure his single Rinnegan is superior to her single sharingan but her chakra level and her byakugan sharingan combo is superior to his Rinnegan

also she has not shown the ability to use the six paths. the sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. so its likely that he was born with a sharingan and simply developed the six paths based on the power he received from her. then his eyes evolved into the Rinnegan(the purple rippled Rinnegan) the main source of her power is not her byakugan or sharingan but her enormous chakra and enormous natural energy in her body

indra and ashura were born with half of his power but if you gave them a 100 years they may very well have surpassed him in power the same thing could be said about hagoromo. if he had long enough to cultivate his chakra he could have surpassed her(my evidence is that they specifically say one can increase the size of ones chakra via meditation, physical training or both) if hagoromo had trained and trained and trained he could have surpassed her eventually. just remember she is only twice as powerful as he was

also on a side note i must note that madara had the EMS and so does sasuke yet. obito with a regular sharingan was able to phase through a boulder after only recently awakening a sharingan. and like black and white zetsu said. a sharingan is only as powerful as the one who is using it when commenting on how sasuke was putting up such a good fight against itachi even though itachi was using his MS. its entirely possible for someone to inherit a power from their parent then evolve said power to a superior level then the parent and yet still be weaker then them
