Sith infighting hamstrung their efforts. A lot of their best warriors weren't even taken out by the Republic, while the remaining best were occupied with taking the first lot out in the first place. Nox and the Wrath (and the Champ and Cipher 9) didn't focus on the Republic, but on other concerns or on killing other Imperial leaders. Meanwhile all the champions of the Republic spent all their efforts shitting on the Empire.

You had absolute beasts like darth malgus, marr, jadus, thanaton and vitiate (not much of a warrior but still)
Of course the protags of wrath and darth nox as well
Compared to the jedi who basically had satele and the protagsHow did the sith not easily win?
What obviously superior force users?
Malgus turned rogue, Jadus got taken out before the war broke out, Thanaton wasted resources on Nox and then got stomped, Baras did the same against the Wrath and Vowrawn, Vitiate went insane and tried to murder everyone before getting HoTstomped and Marr isn't better than the top Jedi fighters.
Meanwhile you have the Jedi going ham on the Empire virtually unopposed by their top dogs. The HoT and Thor shit on their trump cards and the Smuggler and Trooper do significant damage to them as well. The Sith lose half the Dark Council before the end of Act 3.

Not really true, the Battle for Corellia had a significant effect on the war. The Empire used so many resources capturing the planet then lost it all when the infighting and Jedi counterattack pushed them off it again.
Battle of Corellia was devastating for the Empire. In the battle they lost 3 Dark Council members. And in the related events they also lost Baras and Thanaton. Not to mention, according to Malgus 10% of their entire Military power.
Syndicate are you really surprised by that? I mean the Battle of Bothawui, the Sith Commanders battle plan was to just throw 50,000 of their troops against the paltry force of 4,000 Republic Troopers a Jedi Master and 7 dozen of the Order's best Jedi Knights. The Commanders then had to call for reinforcements.
.....I mean how stupid is that...50,000 getting destroyed enough to the point they had to call in reinforcements? Against a 4,000+ Republic Force?...Then after all that, the Imperial force was driven to retreat after all their loss, they gained literally nothing other than dead bodies.
If the Commanders had been smart, they wouldn't have just thrown their entire force directly at them, when they should have known better. But of course they didn't.

They also lost Tol Braga, The First Son which exposed the Emperor's Children across the galaxy and their greatest military mastermind, General Rakton. Plus Vitiate died soon afterwards/during. In terms of military defeats, it's honestly up there with the Battle of Endor.
There is. Clone are pumped out by the millions whilst droids number in the quadrillions.
That's possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It doesn't matter that Palpatine's orchestrating the war, how is he supposed to hide from his subordinates like Dooku and Grievous that they have a billion to 1 advantage and that they could simply air drop droids on Republic worlds and defeat them by drowning them in metal parts.
