Malice's nature is self destructive with an insatiable hunger to devour all reality - starting with chaos itself. As a result only the most insane or suicidaly stupid will willingly serve him nor will any of the other Chaos Gods ally with him, which is why Malice is sidelined from main conflicts & is - so far - only a peripheral character in 40k. I by all means agree with your characterization of him, but I think that's exactly why he'd win. If Chaos collapsed on itself in (Captain America) civil war, I feel Malal would thrive in that situation. It's not explicity said that Chaos Gods can't climb the ladder of power, Slaanesh is far younger than the other big 3 but has a whole legion dedicated to it. So, idk, just my thoughts.
