Madara in his first life did not possess Biju chakra and thus -even near-death- would not have met Hagoromo. Madara in his second life was near-death but Hagoromo was already present as a spirit. Same goes for Obito.

Near Death + Ashura + Indra + Kurama seems to be the requirement to meet Hagoromo. Hagoromo probably has some say in it. But this makes more sense than that Hagoromo simply chose not to talk to THE most influential ninja in Shinobi history.

Secondly, we don't know the relative time of the mental plane (IE is the talk in real time or not?) It seems that the mental plane goes faster than real-time because else Naruto would have had quite a few moments where he was silent for a while even though the environment suggests he was busy (E.g. Naruto v Obito). Hagoromo could've started talking when Obito/Kabuto started the transfer and ended when the transfer was complete.

Lastly, it requires quite a few hashi cells to have wood release. It's possible Sasuke received a highly diluted form (since Kabuto had mixed in quite a bit of other DNA as well)
