Being able to stand still doesn't guarantee you SM mastery. SM is more complex. There is a good reason why only a hand full of people mastered SM. Let's take a look at the list : Naruto and Hashirama, 2 Asura reincarnations, Jiraiya (unmastered SM), Kabuto ("cheated" SM), Mitsuki ("cheated" SM) and Minato (ass-pulled SM).Not adding Hagoromo and Hamura or Jugo clan members. These users have more than large chakra pool or ability to stay still. The sort of have a "body" of a Sage as well.For them it sort of make sense to be Sages.SM is not your everyday ability and is not for everybody.

Ashura has nothing to do with Sage Mode.

Mastering Sage Mode requires massive Chakra Reserves and the aptitude to infuse Sage Chakra. The Strength of a Hundred Seal would bypass the requirement for a natural large Chakra Pool and Sakura has the best Chakra Control in the series, which includes the infusion of energies into Chakra.
