I think it's the other way around. Naruto has plenty of imagination and can be pretty creative. He's just stupid and naive as Kishimoto loves to remind us. He's an idiot savant. That's why all his babysitters have trouble teaching him and have to break everything down in the simplest terms possible. It's like teaching a five year old.
And even the geniuses, despite their ability to learn countless jutsu, usually rely on their specialties. How much ninjutsu has Mr. Over 200 I.Q. Shikamaru shown? Kishimoto brands his characters and wants them to use their signature moves. So therefore it's not shocking at all to see more rasengan for Naruto. Four years ago in 2006 we learned Naruto had wind chakra. After that revelation numerous fans pined for Naruto to learn and use tons of wind jutsu. And he didn't. Then there were cries for him to get a second element to show more jutsu. And he didn't. Now he is back with more rasengan. That's what he is good at.
Bruce Lee said, "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 different kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

I completely forgot that Bruce Lee quote. Awesome. I agree with this so much. Characters are meant to show off their signature techniques and their variations. (Shadow Strangulation Technique and Shadow Sewing were just offshoots of the original Kage Mane)
And if you consider mere number of jutsus, Kakashi has actually showcased more jutsu than Orochimaru did. And he's the guy that wanted to learn all the jutsu in the world.
Kakashi has used and is known to be able to use the following techniques. I'd say that asking for even more would be silly and gratuitous. He's shown plenty more diversity than the average ninja, and the 1000 techniques is clearly just a moniker he's earned through his countless battles.
