That's not the only conclusion we can come to. To me, this is obviously plot at play. If Sasuke absorbed the jutsu, Naruto wouldn't have been captured and that ruins boruto's character development moment. Besides there are many times when rinnegan users could have absorbed jutsu's but they didn't e.g; Kaguya with the tailed beast rasenshuriken. We already know that Sasuke can absorb chakra quantity of Naruto's level or greater when he absorbed chakra from the Bijuu. That was surely greater than what Naruto had since he need to gather all the natural energy in the landscape to match it.

Yes Sasuke had to use Susanoo to contain all that chakra but there's no reason why he can't use the same method on Naruto's large scale techniques.
