For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.
The branch family's true purpose is very specific: by branding the line of succession other than the heir apparent with the seal, they silence any pretenders to the title or succesion crises. They can actually remove the seal from those they place it on, but only do this when they need to fall back on the second in line due to the death of the first.
The reasons they keep the branch family around in the current era where the position of the head line is guaranteed by konoha are threefold: one, their canon excuse is still semi convincing in context. Two: it's tradition. Three: The resentment of the branch house would cause a LOT of internal strife if released.
In fact, aside from the heir, the branch family is the actual definition of the line of succession.
They're also used as a reservoir of spouses for the clan head, at times, to 'maintain the blood'.
Other than the clan head, if a Hyuuga marries a branch family person, the children are branch family. Gotta keep the claims to the throne in the sealed populace.
Kaiten is denied to the branch house because the rotating barrier of chakra can actually deflect the activation signal for the seal. It's all meant to ensure against rebellion, and in particular the creation of a dedicated anti-seal technique.
Hizashi's decision would be even more inexplicable from Neji's perspective, making him even more convinced of dirty dealings.
Hizashi stood with the chance to convince the main family that Hinata was unfit to inherit, and to become the clan head himself, if he let Hiashi sacrifice himself.
