Don't really see why its so important for some people that sora didn't become a master. I mean from the games released becoming a master doesn't really seem to change anyone or make them stronger. Look at the masters already in game:
Master Eraqus lost to his own student then was sniped from behind
Aqua, well she made castle oblivion, but shes trapped in RoD helpless to whats happening outside
Yen Sid, hes just chilling in his own realm letting riku and sora do the grunt work for him
finally, Mickey (i think hes a master) doesn't seem any more powerful than riku or sora
IMO being a master is just an honor and with all that sora's done and probably will do, hes already a master
