Everything that's happening now stems from Hagoromo choosing only one son to carry on his will. By dividing his powers between Naruto and Sasuke he has ensured that a) there will be no singular power and b) the two will have to work together, ending the ancient conflict between Hagoromo's sons. Give Naruto the Rinnegan and the scales tip way back.

Furthermore, the powers each of them gained are the ones that play to their long standing strengths and experiences (Naruto's mastery of Tailed Beast chakra and sage mode, Sasuke's experience with Dojutsu). The two don't really have the necessary skill to make use of each others abilities in a meaningful way. You'd also do well to remember that by having the chakra of the tailed beats Naruto already has something on his side that Hagoromo and his brother did not.

i will start off by saying that singularly the sage and his brother each were individually more powerful then all the tailed beasts. for one simple fact kaguya is far more powerful then all the tailed beasts combined she is more powerful then both her 10 tailed form and shinju combined they literally said that she has more chakra then even the shinju which means that Hagoromo and Hurama each had half of her power. so really they did not need the 10 tails power because they already had power that reviled it

second off all he did not split up the power because he thought he needed to change things. he believed giving the leadership of the shinobi to just Asura created this problem. which has nothing to do with power. and he really did not separate the powers equally because sasuke has a Rinnegan in one eye which means he gave sasuke a little more then he gave Naruto which is still playing favoritism. for them to be both equal they would either both need two Rinnegan or Naruto would need to develop atleast one of the Rinnegan because even though he has more chakra then sasuke. Sasuke still has the Rinnegan
