Hagoromo stated to both Sasuke and Naruto when they were dying, that whether they lived or died was not up to him, but to the people around both of them. That...doesnt discredit the fact that Hagoromo gave him SPSM.

Naruto was given Shukaku and Gyuki's chakra. Was it also confirmed that Obito gave Naruto some of the Six Paths chakra that he stole from Madara? No. As a matter of fact it was only stated that he stole Senjutsu, not 6 Paths Senjutsu. The databook explicitly states that Hogoromo gave him SPSM

Naruto's SPS markings are virtually identical to toad sage mode markings. Barring the orange eye-shadow. Indicating a prerequisite for sage mode in the first place. Its not identical to Sage markings. SPSM is indicated by a slit-slat cross shaped pupil.

All this leads to the conclusion that SPSM requires Six paths chakra, sage chakra and the bijuu. Until you take into account that Hagoromo and Hamura had SPS prior to the sealing of the Juubi
