I don't think you understand what nerfing means. It's about a sudden reduction in power, not never having that power in the first place.

As to him not learning jutsu....that was the point of the character. Now you are free to disagree and consider it a waste of a character...but he wasn't nerfed.

He never showed the power he had. He could keep up with Hagoromo against the Juubi and later in life had the Tenseigan, so he was definitely on the same level. You can't nerf someone who never showed their power. Also, he was on the moon throughout his life and let Hagoromo be the icon. His job was just as important as Hagoromo's, just not as flashy.
