Because despite it all he still "barely escaped with his life" and was "severely tested" by his own omission, Luceno hasn't retconned that, in fact the fight more or less occurs the same, it's just a little more semantically generous to Jinn.
Simply put though I will concede that Jinn was able to "match" his strength for a time, it was nothing something he could at all sustain, and he's still a 30 second affair for Maul.
Vitiate dominates. I can honestly see Fisto and Jinn just straight up falling to his TP from the onset. He casually dominated a powerful Sith Lord in Dramath before becoming hundreds of times more powerful and skillful - and brought Scourge to his knees via a passing touch of his mind.
Mace can be defeated either through TK, or lightning, and Artoo is useless.
