Neither Madara nor Sasuke obtained the other half's power before obtaining EMS, and even then Madara only awakened late in his life and Sasuke awoke it due to Hagoromo. We can't really draw conclusions from that.

Having three examples of an EMS turning Rinnegan is evidence, that a connection exist.

Three, compared to zero.

Just like, a Rinnegan without Sharingan.

Never happened.

Madara did it twice.
