I think the disconnect is in your identefication of mitzvas asei
with chiyuv. Most hold that the rest of Pesach only holds an issur of
chameitz. The Gra (daas yachid?) holds there is a qiyum asei in eating
matzah. Qiyumis, not chiyuvis.

I think that via g"sh tes-vav - tes-vav this ties to his shitah that one
makes a berakhah every time one uses the Sukkah, even achilas o shinas
arai. Again, because he adds a mitzvah qiyumis that is being fulfilled
even though there is no issur in doing these things at home.
