The White Council is kind of a Joke.
The_Sibelis:
The thing is woj says it was stolen which I find to be a key word considering how fae like Jim will be with his answers. And that MW would really like it back.
🤔 Though I'm thinking the Black staff is actually more MW's agent than than the WK. It's a pretty big piece of whom she is on some levels and clearly has a will and form of its own. The biggest difference between mantle and staff here is the presumed placement of the mantle itself, but the effects and descriptions of function remain similar enough even as the precise abilities differ.

We have been given clues that the Blackstaff is Mother Winters missing walking stick, most recently in Battle Ground Eb’s shadow in wielding it is that of a Crone.
Mother Winter is an Intellectus, she knows exactly where her walking stick is at all times. Therefore Eb holds it with at least her tacit consent, which she can withdraw at any time.
In The Law Mab steps in when there is an attack on the company car, she sees it as an embarrassment, an attack upon her Knight with the Blackstaff would be seen in the same vein by Mother Winter.
Harry as the Winter Knight is specifically Mab’s agent in the mortal world, but he is also Mother Winters.
Eb in attacking Harry didn’t use the Blackstaff.

A: The Blackstaff isn't a weapon, it protects you from the taint of Black Magic you don't use it against someone.
2nd: it is as likely as anything else that Mother Winter lost the black staff in a bet with say Uriel, and he gave it to the Black Council and MW can't take it back without upsetting him and or going back on her given word... this might be an agreement with the original Merlin or someone else.
Finally my point was that Mother Summer said "LOST", she can't lie, so lost in a bet, misplaced, something like that, but she can't have loaned it to the WC for example.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I never said that it was a weapon, but Eb was trying to kill Harry, exactly what the Blackstaff protects against. It allows the user to kill using magic without the consequences such an act normally entails. Eb could have easily summoned the Blackstaff to show how serious he was.
Tinfoil hat:
OG Merlin either stole it or won it in a bet the same way Harry in Cold Days won the Wild hunt in. Power cant be given, in freely. MW is among the most powerful beings in the universe. Noone steals from her with out her consent. Similar to how Harry and co stole from Hades

Except Harry didn't steal from Hades, he passed the test that Hades had set up and gained the Artifacts as a result. The test being if you weren't clever enough and strong enough to get into the vault to get them, you weren't either clever enough or strong enough to wield them.
