I heard (perhaps from RARakeffetR) that there is a kelal, not just
MRAH: Any rebbe has the right to select his students when it comes to
teaching his own Torah, but is obligated to teach anyone who comes to
(actually) learn the Torah he received.

Nut the question appears to be the reverse: Initially, the TSBK was
given to only a select sheivet, not all of qehillas Yaaqov. Why didn't
Moshe Rabbeinu follow the same kelal?

Well, let's work with the assumption he did. What would that that imply?
That of all the shevatim, the only ones who clamored for TSBK was sheivet
Levi. IOW, they asked first, they got the original copy. Moshe DID
teach every ready student. Then the other shevatim got qin'as soferim,
only then ready to learn, so they got their own copies.

Does this not fit the text?

GCT!
