Before you guys read this, just know this isn't mine. I saw this on NF, and I thought this was rather spot on. It made sense. I mean, the Sages' sword which created life itself (smh) got dust down by a PS/Kyuubi slash sounds like the biggest asspull of the series, but this makes sense.
I don't think it's any kind of PnJ or TnJ, or anything so base the reason that Obito just got cut down.
It's funny the confusion. I think Obito explained it himself clearly before it happened.

Madara once said will cannot be passed down.
I propose that he was right to a degree. Obito never met the Rikudo Sennin, he never saw him with his own eyes, he never heard his voice or touched his heart. Rikudo Sennin couldn't pass down his will to him.
"His passion and intensity, permeate throughout the blade...you could say this blade carries his very essence."
Therein lies the problem.
Obito has no passion. He has no intensity. He has purpose, he has desire, and he has determination. But emotionally? He's an empty husk scratching to reclaim his own life as he envisions it.
But Obito cannot use that sword. You can't borrow Rikudo Sennin's will and passion and subvert it for your own use. If what Obito said was absolutely true then that sword breaking was absolutely foreseeable. Lest Obito forgets Hagoromo chose his younger son to lead the way to the future. Of the little we know about Rikudo Sennin we know that he has already rejected Obito and Madara's path thousands of years before they were even born. So if it is his essence in that blade, then clearly it broke on purpose because it wants Obito to lose.
If Obito was simply speaking metaphorically then it broke because he does not have the will and emotional vivacity to use such a weapon. For a man with no heart and no identity, using a sword that was supposedly comprised of passion is completely impossible.
Or rather, the Sages' feelings. The sage and Obito share complete opposite ideologies. And with his "passion" running through the blade, as Obito said, Obito wielding it just shouldn't be possible.
You know, I hope this was Kishi's intention when having the sword break like that.
Because Juubito doesn't have the power to match Rikudou, therefore leading to the Nunoboko breaking, as his power is insufficient, especially with the Juubi otherwise engaged.
That theory is rubbish (using Narutoverse logic) Tsunade and Naruto are two examples where their will has been passed down to them, even Madara didn't deny it when Tsunade told him.
Because Juubito doesn't have the power to match Rikudou, therefore leading to the Nunoboko breaking, as his power is insufficient, especially with the Juubi otherwise engaged.
Nah, it isn't the power. Obito simply doesn't have the same passion and essence as the Sage. Their ideology is literally mirror opposites. One is planning to save the world, the other to destroy it. Do you really think the sword (which according to Obito has the Sages' passion and essence in it) is gonna let Obito wield it when his essence is something the Sage rejected thousands of years ago when he rejected the Elder son's view of peace?

Agreed~ Nunobuko is probably only usable by either just Senju or an Uchiha-Senju combo. I have pretty mad theories, don't insult, I'm impulsive with these sorts of things o3o
