Lately, I've seen the common argument that Boruto using the bracelet should be no different from stuff like Temari using the fan, Dosu using that sound bracelet thing, Kiba using pills, Sasori's technique, etc... What people who make this argument fail to realize is this:
It was stated by the scientist that the bracelet could be used by even civillians. You don't even have to be a shinobi to wield it.
On the contrary:
Usage of Temari's fan actually requires the input of chakara by the user, which a civillian wouldn't be able to do.
Dosu's sound bracelet similarly, requires the input of chakara. A civillian couldn't do this.
Sasori's jutsu requires the skillful manipulation of puppets which required both training and actual chakara from Sasori's body. A civillian couldn't do this.
Even food pills or kunai still require shinobi skill to use. Sure a civillian can eat a pill, but they wouldn't be able to do anything with their newfound chakara. Using these pills properly still requires actually learning ninjutsu and other shinobi skills. Sure a civillian could also swing a knife, but they would never hit a target. Usage of kunai and shuriken and other ninja tools like that still require actual skill.
Naturally, people also brought in jinchuurikis into the argument, Gaara's automatic sand, etc...
Here is the thing about those:
1. I don't care if a bijuu has its own personality. Either way it is still apart of a jinchuuriki. Why you ask? It is because a jinchuuriki dies if their bijuu is extracted. Anything that is inside of you or connected to you that will cause you to actually die if it is lost is apart of you. If you have a Siamese twin conjoined to you at the heart, that twin is still their own person. Nevertheless, if someone rips that person forcefully from your body, you're dead. That person is apart of you whether they are their own person or not. The same applies to a bijuu within a jinchuuriki.
In short, a bijuu is a part of their host, and you have the right to use something that is physically apart of you in battle.
2. Even bijuu power requires training to use and control. Do you remember how hard it was for Naruto to master chakara arms or bijuu rasengan? To go bijuu mode you also have to be able to properly link up with your bijuu which requires skill to do. Not to even mention the whole friendship thing.
3. As for Gaara's sand, it is a part of him. Also, Gaara still had to train to improve in manipulating it.
Do you see what I am saying? All of these things actually either require shinobi skill/training to use, or they are physically apart of the person. The bracelet on the other hand requires no shinobi skill whatsoever. The chuunin exams are a test of shinobi skills, not modern technology which a civillian could be just as skilled with.
Now one person has argued that in the real world nobody would hesitate to use a piece of technology in a real life or death situation and that their is no real cheating.
I see this person's point, but this logic also backfires on itself.
The problem is that anybody could use this. If everybody in the world got that tool, then Boruto would be back to square 1 as if the tool hadn't even been invented. It would come down to who was more skilled.
In the end, using that bracelet in the chuunin exams is like bringing a gun to a karate tournament. That doesn't prove your skill and preparedness for the world of martial arts. That just shows that you can use a tool that anybody can use.
Conclusion:
All the jutsus and tools that people say should be the same as the bracelet still actually require skill and actual preparedness for the shinobi world. The bracelet does not. Remember this:
Anyone can pull a trigger, but that still doesn't mean a 2 year old (or one with the battle skill of a 2 year old) with a gun is fit to join the military (and the shinobi force is the village's military).
