The vengeance Vader has for Kenobi here is helping him tap into the dark side more. Kenobi takes that away in ANH.
My head canon: Vader is peak dark side here due to his rage toward Kenobi and once Obi-Wan takes revenge away in ANH by leaving the material world on his own terms Vader is changed
When Anakin is at his angriest his connection to the dark side is shockingly powerful. It’s almost as if Kenobi recognized this as he aged and decided to remove revenge from Anakin’s heart entirely by robbing him of it.
When he leaves the material world on his own terms in ANH he removes any ability for Vader to embrace vengeance on his own terms while simultaneously reminding him of the power of the light side. Both things put Vader in a better mindset for Luke later on.
