Didn't Kishimoto say something in the third databook about Gaara retaining Shukaku's ability after its extraction for whatever reason? Which would also line up with the fact that only he could pull Shukaku's chakra out of Obito, since he apparently still had traces of Shukaku inside him or something to that extent.
 * Gaara had no control over Shukaku and didn't befriend it. He also kept his sand control after losing Shukaku.
