That wind style would have been useful when naruto was using smoke bombs against him, no? What was the last time Substitution worked on anyone? I don't think any Dojutsu user has ever been fooled by one.

Secondly, we know that paths have unique powers (e.g. Ashura path can't use Deva Path), so clearly if Nagato keeps the Ninjutsu assigned to himself then no other Path can use it.
