[Star Wars] Why did Maul have a Darth title of he wasn't a lord of the Sith?

He absolutely was a Sith Lord. There's nothing to indicate he wasn't.

If you're going off of the *Darth Plagueis* novel, beware that that is the ONLY work that suggests he was never meant to be a Sith Lord, just a throwaway apprentice meant as an attack dog.
