In episode 6 of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Vader and Obi-Wan fought and it wasn't a good outcome for Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. There are many reasons to this beyond just 'Obi-Wan was better' or "Vader is conflicted"
Let's discuss and breakdown the fight!

Vader says, anakin is gone, i am what remains. This is all so sad. Obi-Wan tells him i’m sorry Anakin, for all of it. Now this is where i feel the directing was really well done, as we see the reflection of blue and red on anakin’s face, showing his inner conflict between the light and dark, between anakin skywalker and darth vader.
Vader tells him he is not his failure, that obi-wan didn’t kill anakin skywalker, he, himself, did. And I will destroy you, As he looks sadistic and psychotic. You can tell Vader is consumed by hatred, Anakin is still there, but he’s twisted and turned by the dark side.

Vader speaks to the Emperor, Palpatine senses his conflict, and questions if his thoughts on this matter are clear, his agitation is all too evident. He says the answer to Vader’s loss, Sidious says, perhaps your feelings for your old master have you weakened. Vader sits up straight, and says Kenobi means nothing, I serve only you, master. cue imperial march, finally. This is still Vader still learning, he’s still figuring things out. Letting go of Anakin Skywalker is difficult, and it’s not as accomplished as it was in the original trilogy, 10 years from now. He’s weak, conflicted, more so Anakin Skywalker now than in Rogue One. Much training he has.
