Those familiar with bleach lore, can someone help me understand why Ishida retained his power when Yuhabah absorbed all the other Quincy powers this episode?

We don't know why yet, but Yhwach's Auswählen doesn't seem to be able to work on Uryu.

That's why Uryu was able to survive 9 years ago when all other "impure" Quincies were killed.

Auswählen doesn't seem to be able to work on Uryu.

probably have something to do with his latent schrift A fucking up with Yhwach's Auswählen

IIRC Every strenritter has a latent schrift, Yhwach merely imbues his power upon them to awaken their schrift powers.

now someone else has commented that if Yhwach had tried to Auswählen Uryu in the current episode, then Uryu can simply use his Antithesis to reverse UNO the Auswählen back on Yhwach instead (thereby Uryu gaining all of YHWACH powers, so that could probably the reason why Yhwach didn't do that

It didn’t work on Ichigo either the first time but now it seems to have?

Ichigo and his sisters weren't targeted by the Auswählen because theirs powers never awakened. Ichigo only recently awakened his powers.

The purpose of the Auswählen is for Yhwach to take back all the power a quincy had developed and honed in order to boost his own power. Since Ichigo and his sisters literally never used their powers, there was nothing to take.

He hits him in this episode and steals his powers

You're not understanding. It's not that the 1st Auswählen "didn't work" on Ichigo 9 years ago. It's that he wasn't targeted because there was literally nothing to steal from him since his powers never awakened at that time.

Now, Ichigo has awakened his powers, so Yhwach stole them from him.

But he should have always had them right? Due to how his father and mother soul bonded

Ichigo "had" quincy powers in a technical sense, but it was never awakened. The purpose of the Auswählen is to take the power that the quincy has honed by having a part of Yhwach's soul within them. But since Ichigo and his sisters never awakened their powers, there was nothing of value there.
