He has missed that moment plenty of times in other fights, you keep saying with absolute certainty that Itachi will try to use Genjutsu the moment he can. But that's just not the case, there are many examples of him not doing that.

And again, you can't activate the Sharingan and Sharingan Genjutsu at the same time. The Sharingan has to be activated, then Genjutsu, that's how it works. It's Genjutsu is an application with the Sharingan being a computer; you can't run the application until the computer is on. Itachi needs to activate Sharingan first, and Minato is just the guy who'd be fast enough to react and look away
