@FlatZone. I think you're also misunderstanding what we are trying to say, or at least me. Hagoromo gave them both half of his own Chakra to be able to fight Kaguya/Madara(who was aiming for her level of powert) and a sealing ability that can remove the trapped tailed beasts within them. What they lost is the sealing ability, not the other half of the Chakura. That other half is the trigger point that unlock their own power yes, but saying that Naruto and Sasuke has gotten weaker after their battle, I doubt it. Naruto and Sasuke have gotten stronger since then. Yes skilled also. But no one is saying they are stronger than the sage himself. Remember Hagoromo has stated that Jinchuriki Madara was in the same level as him. Naruto and Sasuke as a team, rivaled Jinchuriki Madara who was in the same level of power of the sage.

I am not saying that Naruto alone, or Sasuke alone are as strong, or stronger than Hagoromo. Together they are equal to him, but alone, they still have a long way to go. What I am saying, is that they have gotten stronger, at least enough to go toe to toe with Jinchuriki Madara alone, before he absorbed the divine tree. Remember they also managed to defeat Otsutsuki members who Kaguya believed required an army to fight against. They are also known as the main Clan branch, who could be more powerful than Kaguya (that's assuming they are)

Again, I am not saying Alone, Naruto, or Sasuke are stronger than the sage. I am saying that they are more powerful than when they were during the war. Together, they are still the same level as the sage.
