The problem with your analysis is that you want the Byakugan to be Sharingan 2.0. Just because Byakugan can't cast black flames out its eyes, or summon giant spectral monsters, people are pissy. The fact is the Hyuga are prideful people and were woefully out of place when they compared their power to the Sharingan. The Sharingan has always been more powerful than the Byakugan, especially in its advanced stages.

That's just how it is.
