Besides, for that to hold you'd also have to decide whether or not Madara would still have access to MS techniques with the Rinnegan. We just don't know, no matter how logical the answer should be.
I guess I can reluctantly agree with this sentiment although there are no examples of increased powers leading to diminished techniques I think. Like what you're implying I think that the sharingan evolution into rinnegan is a retcon. it fits the story and I'm not complaining about it, I just think it was an after thought so that uchihas could have 1 more available powerup
