I understand the idea behind your theory and i think the deductions and considerations are logical.

But i find the stumbling block of not using other kekkei Genkai simply too big to seriously consider this. Ohnoki would've had a serious arsenal of jutsu with a KKT plus 3 KKG plus 3 base elements.

I personally think the difference is in how it is used. Unlike a KKG which takes a release in each hand, i think the reason Dust Release takes a moment to form is that Ohnoki channels chakra into the cube/sphere/cone and then performs a simultaneous three-way transformation. Being fundamentally different from how a KKG is achieved, i think Ohnoki can't use KKG because of this.

Not that i don't find the regular KKG excuse logical. It's weird that people can combine elements with cooperation jutsu but it takes a KKG to create an advanced nature. I get the difference: Cooperation ninjutsu simply combines the elements whereas KKG combine their concepts (IE fire is a chemical reaction and heat energy, so those concepts/aspects get transferred to stone to melt it to magma. Wind can be combined with fire to create Scorch which is a dry, reactionless heat. Contrast wind+fire which creates more fire).
