Cept it's not.
See how this works? Make actual arguments or we'll keep going around in circles.
Why is being ~ Kenobi >= Malgus who was able to give a good fight to the 4 protagonists. And why is Maul ~ to prime Kenobi?
Who had the upper hand against Ventress after initially disarming her. Ventress who had been fighting with primarily dual blades for years. Then once she adjusts after regaining them she stalemates Maul.
TCW Maul fought on par with Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has beaten the likes of Grievous, Ventress and competed with Dooku.
TCW Maul also is more skilled than TPM Maul, who has beaten one of the best swordsmen of the order and his near-equal easily. We don't know if he fought the Protags in a Lightsaber combat iirc, and especially not how good.
Not prime Obi Wan and TCW Kenobi has never competed with Dooku on his own.
TCW Maul is far less skilled then Maul due to having had his skills atrophy for decades. Qui Gon being one of the best Jedi on the Order doesn't mean diddly squat since Zallow blitzed some of the best Sith warriors in the Galaxy and Return Malgus stalemated him.
We know he did fight them in lightsaber combat and that he was praised as having fought near perfectly by HoT who himself was an extremely skilled swordsman.
