Since Madara can remove the contract using a few hand signs, what is stopping an Edo Tensei user from using it to summon a strong shinobi and ending the contract themselves while keeping edo tensei intact? It bypasses any limitations of Rinne Tensei and gives the summoned ninja infinite chakra. Thanks for reading.

Not at all. With "edo tensei", or reanimation, the reanimated soul can be released if they undergo a change as a person. After all, reanimation forcefully binds a soul to a sacrifice's corpse, it isn't a true life. Madara can vanish in a poof if someone comes along, gives him a lecture, and makes him wonder about all of his hatred. Nagato's jutsu truly restore's life to a dead person, like they never died at all. It's superior in the sense of bringing someone back to life. Reanimation is only superior at turning a departed soul into an unstoppable (unless the soul decides to poof at the first sign of sentimentality) killing machine.

That is some plot whole so it was really edo tensei that was the key to everything. But yes of course I agree everyone does

Edo Tensei's better for the user (since the one revived is under the user's control until the user releases the technique). Rinne tensei's better for the one being revived.

While Edoo Tensei is better from a military point of view, we must keep in mind why was this jutsu forbbiden in the first place. Summoning the souls and binding them to a body through sacrifice is against the laws of nature. And the revived one won't be able to enjoy a normal life, most ninjas were disgusted when finding out they were revived via EDO Tensei, and even if they were to have free will (release the contract) knowing that you are "still dead" isn't a pretty thing to live with.

Hence the difference between Rinne Tensei and Edo Tensei... the first one might not be as good for a military purpose, but on the other hand the person is revived, they are just like they used to be.
