Well it might be the same reason that Lin doesn't just teach Kora metal-bending for the heck of it. This chi-blocking Amon uses is probably very, very advanced. It is also possible that, if done incorrectly, it could kill the person instead of removing their bending, especially if this invovles the pressure point "Amon".

Alternatively (or eevn additionally), teaching it to others would make it so he could no longer put up the faccade that he was "chosen" by the spirits, thus displaying an ability that he should not be able to do (energy bending). The similarity was probably very purposeful. He plans his apperances to the public VERY carefully.
