I’ve considered the idea that Vader’s failure to corrupt Luke in ESB sort of broke his ambition. I think it’s possible that when we see Vader in ROTJ he truly no longer believes that he’s capable of going up against Palpatine, and he really does just want to serve his master because he has nothing else left. The fire is certainly gone in his characterization; maybe that’s the point rather than it just being lazy or inconsistent writing.
