Sasuke needed to Preta the chakra of the Bijuus to even the gap between their powerups. Arguably, before the Rikudou event, the scaling was like this.
BSM Naruto > BM Naruto >=< EMS Sasuke
Sasuke got half of Hagoromo's chakra and a Rinnegan. Naruto got the other half, Rikudou Sage Mode and the Bijuu's chakra. Rinnegan, the height of Dojutsu prowess, should rival the height of Senjutsu. Too bad double Rinnegan >>> A single one. On top of that Sasuke was a noob at using it while Naruto is adept at Senjutsu (and considering Rikudou SM basically gives you an understanding of everything...), only Gudoudamas being actually a new tech. Consequence? Sauce had to save his ass with the Bijuus due to Naruto being suddenly able to absorb the planet's whole Nature Energy. Not to mention that he wasted a good chunk of his chakra using PSs againts Kaguya and Madara while Naruto had a nice fox inside his stomach to aid his reserves (and his supporters actually say he was completely exhausted).
Before the Sage power-up, the scaling was like this:
BSM Naruto = EMS Sasuke
What you're talking about is just the difference in chakra, not difference in powers. Completely wrong point of view there...
Sasuke = Sasuke's chakra + Sage's chakra
Naruto = Naruto's chakra + Sage's chakra + Half Kurama's chakra + some of other 8 tailed beasts chakra
There's a real lack of balance in that chakra distribution. Sasuke's Preta Path absorption and collecting bijuus' chakra was only to balance that disadvantage in chakra. Not powers. Plus, Sasuke now mastered Preta Path, so he has essentially just as much chakra as his opponent.
Because Naruto had another entity fighting for him and gathering energy for him
Exactly this ^^^
Sasuke's portion of tailed beast chakra wasn't nearly as functional as Naruto's half Kurama. That portion of tailed beasts' chakra was only an additional chakra reserves for Sasuke to use it for his own techniques. Whereas Kurama gave Naruto chakra (so much of it), and on top of that, it endowed Naruto with its own powers as well unlike Sasuke's portion of tailed beasts chakra. Add that to battle strategies, advises and information giver, and it changes everything. Not to mention the most important factor that Kurama wasn't just an additional chakra reserve, it also collected natural energy to a beastly amount while Naruto was busy in battle.
You really can't compare a portion of 8.5 bijuus to Naruto's Kurama.
