Go and read the chapter! The Arankaru clearly explained, that Hitsugayas Bankai is going to vanish, because its still incomplete. It's not something Hitsugaya wants, it just is this way. The author wouldn't write this long explanation, if it were just a misjudgement from the enemy!

It's like Sui Fong's Shikai: She explained, that when Yoruichi left it was still incomplete and it got better in the meantime... for Hitsugaya it's the Bankai.
So you are saying that the Arrancar, who had never seen Hitsugaya before knows everything about his Bankai? That doesn't make any sense! He's cocky to get straight to the point. Look at page 7 on the exact same chapter. He sensed that Ilforte released his hollow form (shikai/bankai whatever). He flat out said that it wasn't because Ilforte was forced to, but because he got bored. That misjudgement took an entire page...

The Soi Fong & Yoruichi case is different. Yoruichi was basically her teacher.
