If Kizaru had it, he would have used it.
Same with Kuzan against Garp or in MF.
Awakened DF users use their awakenings all the time. Look at Luffy, Lucci, and the gorosei.
I don’t even think Akainu had awakening pre skip. I think Oda probably gave it to him over the time skip so that he’ll be an actual threat whenever we see him. As opposed to getting clowned like Pizzaru.
