[Star Wars] Why do the younglings in RotS call Anakin “Master Skywalker”


“You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master”

So why do the younglings say “Master Skywalker, there are too many of them. What are we going to do?” 

If he wasn’t a master?

Master seems to be an honorific to anybody of a higher rank than you in the order. Padawans call address Knights as "Master insert name here", for example, in The Clone Wars series Anakin is addressed as Master Skywalker not only by his own Apprentice, but Barris Ofee, Jedi Master Luminata Unduli's padawan.
