For 2 reasons :
1- Keep it a secret : It's better not to show your enemy all you have . That's why he managed to confuse Kinshiki , to think he was a stone clone from the beginning.
2- It's too attractive for people on Earth ... There's chance that some Orochimaru-like people come after his Rinnegan if they see it .

The anime retconned that recently. Urashiki can turn his Rinnegan on and off
That's called a switch between dojutsu. Madara already did that while he was an Edo.
For Madara's (and Urashiki's) case, his EMS (Byakugan for Urashiki) and Rinnegan are two separate dojutsu. So he switches between them.
However, Sasuke can't switch between his Rinnegan and EMS because those two are connected, unlike Madara's. So we still don't know if Sasuke can switch back to normal eyes or not unless we get a picture of post VOTE II Sasuke having his normal black eye.
I personally think he can't do that because : at VOTE II, while he lost majority of his chakra, he couldn't open his left eye (but he was able to use EMS in his right eye)

You can't deactivate a rinnegan, that's why.
You're mistaken Tobious, Madara as Edo has shown he can, Madara Would've deactivated them to implant them in Nagato. And Urushiki in filler has shown some ability to activate and deactivate the Rinnegan. From observation and rational evaluation the only conclusion I've been able to reach is that somebody who has achieved their own Rinnegan can (Madara and fillershiki). Anybody who bears another's eyes(Nagato and Obito) or receives the Rinnegan(Sasuke) can't. Another reason the databook entry of the sage handing the Rinnegan to Sasuke is legit.

Madara and Sasuke have slightly different dojutsu, and also, they awakened in different ways.

Madera got his in eyes that were not originally his own near the end of his life span (by this i mean, when he awakened the rinnegan, his eyes inside of his skull were not the originals. He has since replaced them for EMS (Not that that would matter) and then later again after using Izanagi.)

It is actually pretty strange Madara was able to switch between rinnegan and EMS as an edo. there is no logical way he would be able to do that, because at least one of his Ems eyes are confirmed to be a different eye than one of his rinnegan, having been awakened in another eye. The only way this can be explained is by assuming Madara could only do what he did as an edo was because of Kabuto tampering with his body, somehow allowing him to use all of his eye powers.

If I remember correctly, he never switched back to EMS once he attained his Rinnegan after being truly revived. He used the powers of his EMS even without ANY eyes, but I don't think he could switch back anymore after being revived, since his eyes were no longer the originals that could access the sharingan, or at least HIS sharingan.

@bold: He turned them off to implant them into Nagato, Madara could turn them on and off.

Kabuto didn't do much save add a Hashiboob as Madara confirmed.

I think it’s a play on how half of his life is good; he has one arm, one standard sharingan, one daughter, had one brother, etc.

I’m just joshing lol but OP is correct

Remember that Edo eyes are not Madara’s real eyes, we talked about it a while ago. Real original owner rinnegan eyes cannot be deactivated.
Sasuke and Hagoromoo are a good example of this, when Sasuke left the village he still had his rinnegan activated and in Boruto when he ran out of chakra traveling kaguya’s dimensions he still had his rinnegan activated but he lost tomoes
Hagormoo has never deactivated his Rinnegan in either flashback panels we received and Madara himself has never deactivated his rinnegan during his whole fight against Naruto and Sasuke.
The anime retconned that recently. Urashiki can turn his Rinnegan on and off
The anime can’t recon the manga bro, even in the Boruto manga Sasuke still can’t deactivate the rinnegan.
We’re still debating on the fact on Urashiki being canon or not.
Because not only did he not go from a sharingan to a rinnegan like the other sharingan users we know, he’s also not human.
Even Momoshiki changed his byukagan colors and grew a third eye.

We did agree they weren't his real eyes, however we did see Madara use the powers he had prior with the fake eyes even his own MS pattern minus a few jutsu for whatever reason (nerf). That includes the fake eyes switching to the Rinnegan and back to his MS pattern. I don't see Edo Madara using any abilities he wouldnt be able to in real life. As for turning them on and off agianst Naruto and sasuke he never had a need to if we're using that as the reason. He clearly turned them off to implant them into Nagato who activated them to save Yahiko.

Hogaromo isn't really a good example since he floats around on his balls and transcends death. Sasuke's Rinnegan is complicated as i mentioned earlier.

Madara’s Edo eyes cannot use Limbo Hengoku and they can’t help him summon the Gedo mazo out of Obito’s body either, only his real eyes can.
Edotensei restores the users previous powers so all that Fire style, Sharingan Powers, and Wood style powers are his because Madara died in the cave with Hashirama’s implanted tissue and a Sharingan in his socket.
What Kabuto specifically said that he modified is the life force on his chest (increased senju tissue and restored youth) and he modified an Edo rinnegan for Madara.
So you cannot use Edo tensei as an example for a real life rinnegan, they have different functions and one is a fake.
Sasuke’s rinnegan is something that he awakened whether you believe that he mixed senju tissue to awaken his rinnegan or he received six path chakra directly from the palm of his hand changing his chakra entirely, he still awaken the rinnegan none the less. So he’s a perfect example.
I even showed you that Madara couldn’t change his real eyes back to a mangekyo either.
Madara changing his eyes for Nagato when he was young is a speculation because we’ve never seen the rinnegan change anyhow.
