The fact that there's no one Madara/Hashirama, etc in the Hyuga clan goes to what you pointed out: the fact that the Hyuga clan is a private clan that minds its own business. Byakugan may not create a Susanoo or copy jutsus, but the byakugan can control the tenketsu to drain or severe the oponents tenketsu and the Hyuga have the ability to expel their chakra through their tenketsu (which might be similar to forming a Susanoo or entering bijuu mode if you ask me). Also, EVERY Hyuga is born with the Byakugan; the Uchiha aren't blessed with the same fate.

I don't think it was ever said that the Byakugan is needed for the chakra to manipulated the way it is with Juken techniques,though it obvious that it makes it easier and practical. It's more likely that the Hyuga are just very gifted in chakra control even from a young age. Since the Hyuga can expel pure chakra from all the tenketsu it would have been interesting to see them have their equivalent of A's Raiton no Yoroi, if they could up the chakra reserves without losing any control that is.
