Unless you want to further prove Kishimoto's inept at writing, the assumption about Kurama's explanation doesn't work doesn't work. In that scene Kurama was specifically talking about how, because Obito had the statue he was still alive despite the tailed beasts extraction but was left paralyzed and proved that point by saying when the same thing happened to the Sage.

Nothing confusing about it.
