To be fair, i think nobody actually told the guy that Momoshiki absorbed ninjutsu. After all, he was evacuated when the fighting started and probably didn't see most of the fight.

Naruto and Sasuke nevertheless contributed heavily and Boruto's contribution pales to that. The Manga plays it a bit straighter, but in the movie Boruto doing his thing was mostly because the option was available and they might as well try.

I think it's fairly clear that he got it from the third otsutsuki.

EDIT: I was thinking.... could it be that the curse mark simply grants Boruto the chakra edible jutsu? Of all the things i've been trying to think of, that makes the most sense. Momoshiki wanted to gather the chakra fruit again. Giving Boruto and Kawaki that power would mean that even if they both go and fight each other, they're almost certain to gather the necessary power.
