Sage mode is a learnable technique. A hard one to learn at that.

Hashirama didnt lose his strength after Ashura moved on to Naruto. Wasnt the premise of Ashura's line that they sucked and only became strong through hard work and cooporation? I dont think being a transmigarant makes a person strong considering how many other transmigrants existed but Hashirama/Madara were the only ones to go down in history for their strength. I dont believe it was ever stated that being a transmigrant grants strength or power to the character.
