Not everybody can acquire SM, and that was made pretty obvious. You need both a large pool of chakra and the ability to grasp nature energy. Look at Jiraiya. He was a phenomenal shinobi from almost every aspect, and still couldn't pull it off. Even with Ma and Pa gathering NY for him, he still wasn't a "perfect sage". I really hope they won't give Konohamaru SM. I hope they just let SM be an unique ability and not throw it around like they did with the sharingan. Even Mitsuki having SM from a young age pisses me off.

And by the way, when Naruto put his hand print on the toad summoning scroll, there were a bunch of names written down, and i doubt that each of them acquired SM.
