That earlier quote regarding Masaki is a lie to have ichigo to hold to it. Think about it, ichigo doesn't know his father knew about kon or knows if he's in his body while doing his business. Kubo didn't want information being leaked about Isshin having powers to build up to it. Thus why it was written in that way so he wouldn't have isshin give hints to ichigo he knew stuff. Ichigo isn't stupid if isshin said "ichigo here, it's for you. Kisuke made it for you while kon uses your body" he's going to be suspicious on why he knows urahara or know about kon. And Ryuken has no reason to interfere because Kubo didn't get to that story part yet on revealing Uryu's father.

At that part of the story Everyone expected his father to be a mere human possessing 0 powers but later it was revealed he did indeed and then the plot thickens on "ah that's how ichigo has latent Soul reaper powers. It came from his father" Your whole reasoning is based on that the charm was made for Kon, because Isshin told him so, just like he told Ichigo that the charm used to be Masakis. Think of Isshin as the oracle from Matrix; he told Ichigo, and Kon, what they needed to hear to hold on to the charm. Besides, Kisuke was adamant in destroying Kon in the beginning, since he was a Mod-soul, and would've done so if Rukia hadn't saved him. Then, with a sudden plot twist, Kisuke is now Kon's best friend and makes a charm to keep the poor guy safe, and drags Isshin into the plot to boot...

You also reason that if Ryuken, who Ichigo haven't even met, had made the charm, he would have given it to Ichigo in person. Kisuke, on the other hand, who Ichigo already knew, and who was involved with Kon as well, would not give the charm to Ichigo in person. Instead he'd give it to Isshin, who would have to make up a lie, about it having belonged to Masaki, in order to pass it on to Ichigo. Go figure... I believe the charm was meant to protect Ichigo's human body, while he was out fighting Hollows in his spirit form, and Kon clearly wasn't up to the job. Why would Isshin go to the trouble of insisting that both Ichigo, and Kon, should keep the charm with them at all times, just to protect a Mod-soul who he doesn't even know?

I also don't get why Ryuken would refuse a request from Isshin, for a charm to protect Ichigo, even if he wouldn't do it for a Mod-soul. Isshin and Ryuken have known each other for 20 years, just as long as Isshin have known Kisuke. I'm not trying to present my reasoning as fact, and neither should you.
