It has, the thread is about subjective opinions for 10 most powerful characters, not Asura's powers, what is and isn't canon and how certain dialogue is meant to be interpreted.

Kishimoto didn't tell us everything, sometimes we the fans are supposed to connect the dots.

We know that Hashirama and Naruto are reincarnations of Asura, while Madara and Sasuke are reincarnations of Indra. Because of that, it's only expected that the incarnates have powers similar to Asura and Indra.

Neither Hashirama nor Naruto showed Truth Seeking Balls as something inherited from Asura. Only the latter eventually used them, but not because of having Asura's power, but because he was given power from Hagoromo. So if you insist that Asura naturally awakened SPS with TSB on his own, wouldn't it be reasonable to think that if that were the case, at least one of his known incarnates would have awakened it as well? Same for the chakra avatar... Only Naruto achieved it and only because of Kurama's chakra, neither Hashirama or Naruto showed Kurama-look-alike chakra avatars on their own, as a power inherited from Asura.

I hope I don't need to say more, now back on topic.
