It's not like that. MS doesn't just hurt the user, but also the user can't reach the full power of the mangekyo sharigan just with MS, if that makes sense. This is clearly shown with the level of Susanoo that the user is wielding. There was never an MS user to wield a susanoo greater than the armour susanoo (with no legs).

Madara's Susanoo was bijuu+ level in both size and power, and was larger than a meteorite. He was easilty bisecting like 5 mountains by merly pulling his sword out.

Itachi's most impressive susanoo was the one he used vs Sasuke, and was (obviously) no where near that level.

Also people tend to highly overrate the yata mirror. Do you really think that if Madara were to swing his sword to the yata mirror, it would return the attack to Madara? Or that it would block it effortlessly? No, it doesn't work like that. Yata mirror proved nothing like that. It did what, block a sword attack from Sasuke and countered Orochimaru's weak ass snakes? All of this hype is based on a statement by Black Zetsu i believe, who said that yata mirror can block every attack, chakra nature or physical. Yet i recall a statement about Madara's susanoo which said that it can destroy anything in the universe. So things are quite contradictory here... The Naruto fandom hypes the same BS about Neji's rotation, saying that it can block any ninjutsu attack or physical attack or whatever. So if a bijuu bomb comes towards neji, or if 8 gate guy launches an attack towards his rotation, he would be fine, right? I guess not.

Stop overhyping things. It doesn't work like that. Same thing about the totsuka blade. By the time Itachi would even try to seal Madara's PS he is dead. He can't reach Madara himself, and Susanoo can still act out.
