@Itachi

Because he's never done it as an opener even when he should of. Even against Nagato when he first broke free from the effects of Koto. If Itachi was ever going to use it as an opener, it'd be right then and there. The enemy didn't know he was against him. Everyone was clueless. Therefore it's safe to say Itachi wouldn't do it, therefore it's a part of his character. Him using it as an opener would be out of character. Cause he leaves nothing to chance and will only use it unless it's a 100% likely shot to hit due to the fact using just a single Mangekyo ability is extremely crippling for him.
