Shin clone came to his rescue because Shin used his visual prowess on him. The Shin clones only attacked when he couldn't control them anymore.

I also don't think Sasuke was gonna kill any of the Shin clones but he also wasn't gonna play the long con like Naruto. He could have killed the big clone easily but he chose to knock him down.

I also read the manga and while I enjoyed it, it still didn't give me the excitement of watching those panels come to life. So, this is not a simple cash grab. Actuslly, since the anime industry's main profit comes from merch, this is hardly a cash grab.
