Does Sasuke really need a new arm?


So we all know that Sasuke does not have an arm. And after his fight, Sakura
was saying something about making an arm out of Hashirama's cells. Thing
is—Sasuke has the Rinnegan, and knows how to use it. So, he can use the Asura
Path technique to get a new arm. So what was the need for an arm made of
Hashirama's cells anyway? Why did they make one for Sasuke if he can get a new
arm himself? And why is Sasuke missing an arm in the first place? He should
have had his own new arm by now.

When Naruto and Sasuke battle after they defeat Kaguya, they end up both
losing an arm. Tsunade implants a certain cell inside Naruto's missing arm's
side to let it grow back. But Sasuke does not want his arm to be recovered
because he wants to punish (-ish) himself for all the harm he had caused.

Since, as [EIPsyKongroo said](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/38169/2516),
he only received the Magatama Rinnegan when he got the Sage of Six Path
chakra, and I don't think it has the ability to recover any lost/damaged
cells.
