Something i just thought of, and this goes along with the previous couple of comments.

What if Ginjo's power to steal other powers (whether or not it was his original Zanpakuto power; doesn't matter here) allows him to use the powers, only as long as the victim is still alive? This could offer explanation for why he only used Ichigo's powers during their fight, and not an arsenal of other powers he stole from the Shinigami he was said to have killed.

Well then it wouldn't make sense to steal their power and then kill them.

To counter that, you could say that Ginjo's ability was to steal their Reiatsu, and Ginjo just absorbed the powers attached respectively therein. Suggesting that he was mainly after the Reiatsu, with the powers just being a bonus. And this is to say that he killed them as he found their Reiatsu useful, but not their powers. Or something else happened along the way and he killed them later on for some reason.

With stealing Ichigo's power, he wanted both the Reiatsu as well as the powers. Which is why he was going to leave Ichigo to either die or just live powerless for the rest of his life.

Just a little notion i had randomly thought up, and wanted to add it to the mix.
