We simply don't have a precedent of such a feat on Rasenshuriken's part, as opposed to Gentle Fist which actually was shown to cut Kidomaru's chakra-based web. The destruction of A's Lightning Cloak isn't a fitting example since the cloak isn't a substance but a layer of actual, lightning-natured chakra. As we know, wind is superior to lightning, so it's logical for a powerful wind jutsu to counter a powerful lightning jutsu. I see yeah, most of the rasenshuriken examples showcase destructive capacity, and not necessarily dismantling chakra. Yet, I do think Tsunade's explanation and subsequent classification of the Rasenshuriken as a kinjutsu, as it relates to it's mechanism of attack, deserves mention. In trivia, if not the actual article.
