It's just not the same as asking why something happened. he already had a ton of water present so no need to make more. Madara was just playing with jutsu, he made that clear, it wasn't until Naruto and Sasuke were dangerously close to defeating him with SP powers that he got serious, distracted them and cast IT. Obito couldn't partially Kamui the Juubi, but Madara transported himself entirely. Hagoromo was just a spirit, he couldn't interact with the world, Obito had to possess kakashi just to use his power. Hinata doesn't have tenseigan because she's missing the flesh, same as why Naruto doesn't have Rinnegan despite getting some Hagoromo chakra (chakra by itself has NEVER given new powers).

The difference is that if Totsuka can seal ANYTHING, why did Itachi ever put himself at risk? There's no risk to Totsuka or Yata, yet there's considerable risk in betting that nuking the CT would destroy it, or guessing that Kabuto would go for Sasuke. Why didn't he just seal Obito them, and prevent all this pain and suffering? Why not seal the Biju and die at Sasuke's hands, permanently preventing the plan from coming in effect?

The simple answer is that it clearly doesn't work that way. Itachi himself said "every jutsu has a weakness" pretty much all the time. Totsuka can't both seal people in a drunken genjutsu world AND seal everything. And if Yata can block anything, why is it's only feat that it blocked a few kunai?
