It’s not, Minato was able to learn it despite coming from a very ordinary clan. Like I said anybody can learn it. Yes, clans like senju or uzumaki could have an easier time learning it, but my point is that is not clan dependent.
but Kabuto did lol.
We can’t lump Jiraiya and Minato together. Minato literally had the perfect sage mode, he just couldn’t use it that well. Who knows if he would’ve got better at using it if he didn’t die so young.
Except we did have non Senju learn it lol. Jiraiya had a the imperfect form, but that was still sage mode and was a huge boost. Minato had the perfect form that gave him a huge boost for a short period of time.
In fact, Sasuke could probably learn it, he did perfect a primitive form of Senjutsu in V2 and he has an huge chakra pool. It’s not a thing exclusive to the senju
but Kabuto did lol.

also a special clam in that they can absorb natural energy even while they arent stationary (abnormal btw)
hence kabuto is permanently in sage mode. again this isnt the norm .

lacks the chakra reserves for it . learned how to control kurama after death but didnt hone an ability he learned to acquire for years while he was alive.

you cant say he learned it and then at the same time call it an "imperfect "form
he had to summon two frogs who had access to it to fuse with him in order for it to happen. really makes him learning it kind of pointless.

headcanon territory but again that would depend on his body and chakra reserves. basically the only person to have both the dojutsu and sage mode was the sage of six paths himself. Not even his first son who sasuke is supposed to be a reincarnation of acquired it . madara acquired it after injecting hashirama's cells into himself .....
anyone can learn sage mode , thats not the problem , issue is 1% of people genetically will be able to use it.
senju and their relatives uzumakis
juugo clan
thats it.
