So I ask, how can the sharingan be required for the chidori and not the rasengan? It's funny that you mentioned the description of Chidori as a jab without noticing the further description of its mechanics in the same scene. Guy specifically noted it's an utra-fast jab meant for assassination. Rasengan doesn't need the speed aspect, which is one of the benefits, but at the same time you often have to stall the opponent or something (like Naruto did with Kabuto with his first Rasengan) to make sure that the hit lands.
