Okay, let's just say that Hagoromo doesn't take away their powers but lets them remain.

In other words, you're pitting a user of the Rinnegan and a user of the Byakugan against a user of the Rinnegan, Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, as well as a user of senjutsu in its purest form with a massive reservoir of chakra and the highest level of sensitivity any ninja can obtain, as well as the strongest kind of armor that can be implemented.

Now, that's not to say that Hagoromo and Hamura weren't strong because, let's face it, they are. But even with a Rinnegan and Byakugan, they cannot hope to really try and accomplish much by just using the powers granted to them by these two dojutsu. I mean, okay, both are powerful but they're not hard to fight against, given the range of abilities granted to Sasuke and Naruto.

I argue that Naruto and Sasuke are stronger than Hagoromo and Hamura in terms of their fighting abilities but not in terms of their abilities to understand the nature of chakra. I argue that the reason why Hagoromo and Hamura really were able to beat Kaguya was because they understood the nature of Chakra in a way in which no one else really did.

Besides, the only valid argument that I can think of which would directly be against my point is that both Hagoromo and Hamura directly inherited Kaguya's chakra and so, their chakra is definitely going to be of a much higher level in terms of quality than that of Naruto and Sasuke. That's the only way in which their techniques could beat Naruto and Sasuke's techniques. Because the Chakra quality is higher, the precision and power of their techniques increase by a large amount.
