I get what youre saying, but Ultimately it wont make
Much (if any) difference.
Yoda had centuries more experience than Palpatine but failed to beat him. So more experience isnt the all and end all.
Being Out of Practice however seems to make a difference.
ROTS is Anakin/Vader at his prime/peak and hes spent the last few years on the front lines, sabering and jumping away.

That means Kenobi is more powerful than Sidious given that both Kenobi and Anakin had that Force push content and neither was able to penetrate through the other's Force defenses.
Oh, wait, Yoda literally said that Kenobi is not powerful enough to take on Sidious.
It does not take enough to an intelligent being to understand such trivial things.
Neither was Kenobi powerful enough to defeat Dooku. Yet Anakin was.
So moot point.
Anakin did not have the TK Mastery to overpower Kenobi in a Force push battle (whilst being conflicted), but he still had superior power in the Force, which Dooku felt when he simply could not parry Skywalkers blows, and certainly could not not ragdoll him Lol
Couldn't parry Skywalker's blows... if only there was more context to that. Maybe it's that Dooku's stamina was draining and Anakin was continuously getting stronger, leaving him more powerful than his base version and the Count weaker than his regular self? Without circumstance, that wouldn't be happening. But lets just forget that.

Hmm if only Dooku could replenish his force reserves a few times.
It wasnt a particularly long fight, Dooku was getting drained of Force reserves because of how Strong Skywalkers blows were.

Dooku was old. He was past his prime. And Anakin's cyber-arm offered him a physical (extra)advantage over Dooku.

Nadd, I'm not interested in getting into this debate. He embraces the dark side, and continues to grow stronger as he slaughters Jedi. This is outright stated.
Where was it outrightly stated? If that were true, he would have beaten the pulp out of Obi-Wan on Mustafar.
