Actually, there's no reason to believe White Zetsu can replicate the person's abilities in the first place. The only features they demonstrated are copying of the appearance and chakra, but nothing more. Moreover, if Zetsu were capable of that, they would be more of a tool in the FSWW where their efforts were focused only on infiltration and diversions, yet a complete replication of abilities could've turn them into monsters on the jonin/Kage level akin to Kabuto's reanimations had they copied powerful enough shinobi, while there were quite a lot of them.
