Isn't the simple answer to this that the Uchiha weren't trusted enough?

It was an uchiha controlling the beasts that led to Hashirama capturing the beasts in the first place. hashirama captured kurama because madara was controlling him. but he caught the other beasts to use them as leverage to gain peace. he showed that he had the power to caputure all 9 beasts. his wife was a jinchuriki of the 9 tails and then offered the other villages a biju. all of this was solely done to barter peace
