Well, we lack context yet. e.g., how often can Imu utilize such an attack, if it's an ancient weapon? And, how much does it contribute to his individual power? Ancient powers' primary use case is large AoE/DC. How much would it help in a 1 on 1 fight? Just like the battle ship pluton or summoning Sea Kings wouldn't be that useful in a 1 on 1.
- Roger vs. Whitebeard: We know it was a friendly clash. Later, Whitebeard simply by raising his voice, almost sunk the island.
- Enel obliterated an island. He used the maxim to generate thunder clouds which aren't naturally present in Sky islands, however, an awakened lightning fruit could do it on its own
- Aokiji vs. Akainu happened in the middle of Punk Hazard. The change of climate was collateral damage.
- Issho could just drop multiple meteorites to obliterate the island
- The powers of Ace and Blackbeard also engulfed a large part of the island.
I'm sure an all out attack from Mihawk could've destroyed the island too.
Awakened fire, lightning, light, I imagine would be devastating.
And note how Imu himself tears apart the posters of both Luffy and Blackbeard, as he is pissed at them. Looks like he cannot "just eliminate" them, even though being pissed and not wanting Blackbeard to proceed.
And while Kaido doesn't have such monstrous AoE (Blazing Bagua is quite tremendous too though, Kaido could've molten down that island tbh), his main forte is his monstrous durability, physical strength and Hakis. I wonder how much of a help such an ancient weapon would be if Imu had to go into close combat with Kaido and eating his Thunder Baguas.
But nevertheless, great feats from Imu.

I don't think we should jump to assuming that Imu showed Uranus.
Imu was erasing Lulusia from history in the same way that God Valley was erased from history.
Ohara was destroyed but not "erased from history". Furthermore, Ohara could not have been destroyed in the same way because it was Imu that destroyed Lulusia not the Gorosei.
And Imu wasn't revealed at the time of the Ohara fiasco. Furthermore, Robin would never have survived Imu's attack. Nor would she have met Saul or Kuzan, etc.
The story wouldn't work out.
I don't think it makes sense to conflate the World Government and Imu Sama.
The World Government did not decide to destroy Lulusia, Imu did. Imu did not decided to destroy Ohara, the World Government did.
And the destruction of those islands played out differently.
That is, the World Government not destroying the Yonkou doesn't mean they don't want to. They do not control Imu sama nor do they have access to Imu sama's powers.
They can't request Imu sama to nuke Onigashima for them.
As for why Imu sama doesn't nuke all the Pirates, we don't know. We don't even know that Imu sama considers Blackbeard a light that must be erased from history. That interpretation is not at all clear.
