It's mostly said by Itachi fans.

I don't see a reason to believe that it was watered down. Mangekyou techniques are still techniques. Itachi's eye grants the user the ability to manipulate time and space in genjutsu but it's still up to the user to actually create the technique. It's also up to the target to break through it.

The Sharingan is still a weapon, and a powerful tool of analysis. Sasuke's been under Tsukuyome influence a couple of times now and the most recent one before this was when he had fully awakened his Sharingan. It was about time he learned to break it.
