That's great, but it was specifically noted as a "weakness" Dooku could take advantage of. Where's Makashi was never noted as having a "weakness" that Skywalker could take advantage of.
All forms and fighting styles have weaknesses. Anakin's just not a knowledgeable enough lightsaber combat to know those weaknesses and subsequently take advantage of them.
Right after exploiting Djem So's weakness Dooku attempts the same against Obi Wan who he believes to be an Ataru practioner.
"Kenobi's Master had been Qui-Gon Jinn, Dooku's own Padawan; Dooku had fenced Qui-Gon thousands of times, and he knew every weakness of the Ataro form, with its ridiculous acrobatics." - Revenge of the Sith.
"He drove a series of flashing thrusts toward Kenobi's legs to draw the Jedi Master into a flipping overhead leap so that Dooku could burn through his spine from kidneys to shoulder blades." - Revenge of the Sith.

lawl, Dooku thinks Anakin is the best djem so practitioner he's ever seen, he knew jar'kai as a padawan, within weeks of getting into his suit he had created his own custom form incorporating elements from several different forms, but he doesn't understand enough about dueling to exploit match-ups?
Apparently not. Or perhaps Makashi's weakness is simply that it is weak against strength based forms. Take your pick.
Alright boyos, I'm off. Have fun.

I find your assumption that Mace can enter this state at will when he has never shown to do so at any point except in one extremely circumstantial fight to be a bit ridiculous personally but that's alright.
If you are talking about the superconducting loop, there's a difference between not shown and not explicitly stated. Most of Mace's fights were either short and inconclusive or before Shatterpoint.
