By the way, Madara didn't deactivate his Rinnegan. He's straight up blind. Which makes sense, since all his power was sealed with Six Paths Chibaku Tensei as well, and that includes his Rinnegan.

The Byakugan is present as a physical eye, and activating it doesn't cause huge physical changes. By analogy, the Rinnegan could also be such an eye.
