Why was Vader smiling after Obi-Wan defeated him in the finale?

Darth Vader smiled after Obi-Wan's final defeat in Obi-Wan Kenobi because he felt vindicated, having proven he was stronger than his former master and finally achieving closure by "killing" Anakin Skywalker, which was a triumph of his dark side identity and fulfilled his purpose as Vader, even though it left him perplexed by Obi-Wan's ultimate fate as a Force ghost. His smile reflected a mix of sadistic satisfaction, pride in his power, and the completion of his personal quest to surpass Obi-Wan, even as the mystery of the Force ghost hinted at greater complexities.

In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
