Things don't seem to be going anywhere anytime right now. So here's my view on this.

Tailed Beast Skills - They are useable only by those who host a Tailed Beast within themselves. Previous hosts are unable to utilize these skills. Gaara's case of having sand control after Shukaku was extracted is due to plot reasons, mainly being because of his mother.

Sand Control - It's a Tailed Beast Skill granted by hosting Shukaku. Not a KG, KT or learnable element.

Due to this issue, I believe that we need to establish what Tailed Beasts give what skills to their hosts. I've also seen some previous hosts claim a few things here and there that they've apparently inherited from having a Tailed Beast before. This could become problematic, as someone can continually host and unhost a Tailed Beast one after another, granting them every single Tailed Beast Skill inexistence, without ever having to host them again.
