I've been thinking the same thing. Aizen has been so immensly powerful even before the Hogyokou, it's hard to imagine someone surpassing him now by just by learning a new trick. And after seeing you write it out, it's starting to make me believe more and more in the hogyokou-takes-over-Aizen theory.

Also, I've been wondering this for a while. When Isshin used Getsuga in FKT, was that the normal or final Getsuga? He talks like he knows the final form, so if it was normal, wouldn't it be much more effective for him to use it instead of Ichigo, seeing as his base Getsuga was so much more powerful than we've ever seen Ichigos? Or are we just putting this in the same category of why all the captains didn't use their Bankais?
