Because Hashirama wasn't said to be slightly better. Hashirama ultimately won with one move better than Madara. It's difficult to tell how long they've been fighting, but that's several techniques in and no difference was made until the last move.

As to edo: when will people realize that Edo Tensei is the biggest hack jutsu out there that gives no meaningful information? Madara can only hurt Hashirama by sealing him (presumably he can rip out his soul with Human path to end the fight), Hashirama can only seal Madara with that fencepost seal thing. A seal which was hugely ineffective at stopping madara. Destructive abilities etc don't work on Edo Tensei. You can't kill an Edo Tensei, yet that's the main method to end a fight. You can't fatigue an Edo Tensei even if that's a real limitation.

Lastly, Madara still escaped Edo Hashirama's seal and still managed to defeat everyone. I don't see how this is a claim that "edo hashirama won" @killman madara himself said(especially in flashback where he got sharingan) from the time in childhood to the most of adulthood hashirama was stronger.if you think otherwise, just think feat wise when did madara beat hashirama(before that 4th ninja war arc).if madara had beaten hashirama even once he would have killed him by now(since when he got sharingan only because he had pledged to do so since a kid so I hope you understand the gravity of situation.) PLEASE don't deny the fact that hashirama single-handedly took down both madara and kurama.even when everyone thought kurama was out of picture hashirama was still using his powers to restrain kurama till the very end.clearly it was not because of one slightly better move (but because hashirama was better ninja)had hashi's hold weakened on kurama even for a moment madara would have definitely taken advantage of situation or kurama would have gone on rampage.the difference in skill levels would have been obvious if kurama had not been their. as for all that fuss abt hashirama sealing madara '''clearly madara had all the powers of hashirama before start of fight as well as his own when both were fighting as edos. clearly this fight shows the difference in skill level.and no madara never broke free on his own rather he was freed by naruto's attack'''so you can say hashirama was better one.
