Palpatine saw Maul as a pawn and used him to his advantage, but never considered him a direct threat to his life. Palpatine didn't care about killing Maul for his failure, showing his carelessness and disregard for attachments ultimately led to his downfall.
Sidious revealed to Maul that he did not intend to kill his former apprentice, as he still had use for Maul; it was Sidious' hope that Maul would lead the Sith to Mother Talzin, Maul's mother and the leader of the Nightsisters, so she could be eliminated as a potential threat to the eventual Sith rule of the galaxy.
Maul probably still feared Palpatine. Outing him isn't killing him. And he most likely didn't want a pissed off Darth Sidous roaming around the galaxy looking for revenge.

Doubtful. Even with his power, Palpatine couldn't anticipate every single thing that occurred. He had only just discovered Anakin and while he had plans to make him his knew apprentice, that was along time ahead. If he really wanted Darth Maul out of the picture then he would have done it himself.
Maul had killed Qui-Gon and numerous other Jedi and started a huge Mandalorian conflict that left thousands dead. If he publicly announced that Palpatine was an evil Sith Lord, there would be few (if any) who would take him seriously.
He regretted it because he had essentially wasted 20 years training him. But since he was an enemy at the time of his death on Tatooine, Sid was glad that he did not have to keep watching his back anymore now that the loose ends were tied off.
It's already been shown in the source material… more than once… that Darth Maul is not on Darth Sidious's level. Every time he dueled Sidious as his apprentice (in Legends) he got easily defeated.
Up to Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Palpatine treats Vader poorly, and they very much have an abusive relationship. Darth Vader hates Palpatine yet is eager to please him, whereas Palpatine goes back and forth between acting as a friend and showing his hatred.
The two were able to free Maul after he had been interrogated by the Sith Lord Count Dooku, and together the three rendezvoused with more Death Watch forces on the moon of Zanbar. Maul took command of his forces once again, and assured them that the war they had longed for was at hand.
According to the novel 'Star Wars: Darth Plagueis' - now part of the Legends continuity - the witch detected the power of darkness in Sidious, so he offered Maul to him as a gift, because he believed that this way he would have a better life.
As the son of Mother Talzin, the Zabrak male was taken from a young age by Sidious to act as his impressionable apprentice. The boy was raised as Darth Maul, a name he carried throughout his life. In Legends, it was insinuated that he was born "Maul" before attaining the honor of the "Darth" title.
Sidious himself felt that he and his peers had outgrown the use of lightsabers, and only continued carrying them to mock the Jedi. He ultimately viewed his own lightsabers as little more than an affectation, and rarely wielded them in combat.
Darth Maul fabricated his double-bladed lightsaber out of necessity. Sent to the Jentares system to assassinate the reclusive Jedi Master, Siolo Ur Manka, Maul found himself unable to physically compete with the warrior.
Maul wielded the Darksaber on Dathomir. After Maul returned to Dathomir to help Mother Talzin regain her physical form, Maul was confronted by Sidious and Grievous at the Nightbrothers' village. He, along with Talzin, who had possessed Dooku, fought Sidious and Grievous.
By the time of Episode 3; Anakin is in his prime, and already one of the Jedi Order's most powerful “masters” (although technically still a knight), just behind Obi-Wan, Windu, and Yoda. Maul wouldn't stand a chance. Anakin stomps.
Like his master, Darth Sidious, better known as Sheev Palpatine, Maul's main weakness was his overconfidence. In Luke Skywalker's confrontation with Palpatine during The Return of the Jedi, he tells the Emperor that his overconfidence is his weakness.
Mace Windu vs Darth Maul | Fandom. Mace windu clear winner 9/10 times. His use of vapad would make the fight play out similair to windu vs palpatine. He would use the seething rage pouring out of maul against him, and as mauls force power was so much weaker than windu's it would be an undisputed win for windu.
Overall, Dooku was far more equipped to become a Sith Master than Maul was. Had he managed to overthrow Palpatine, Dooku would have been able to use his position, combat abilities, and dark side Force powers to take his place on the throne Palpatine had carved.
Indeed he did. Dooku (aka Darth Tyrannus) knew his master's identity. At this point the Jedi thought Dooku was the Sith Master. The kidnapping was planned to reinforce public support for Palpatine while further confusing the Jedi about his true identity.
What happened to Darth Maul after Sidious beat him?
After defeating Maul and killing his brother Savage Opress, Sidious takes him to a Separatist prison, where Count Dooku tortures him for information about the Shadow Collective. Prime Minister Almec arranges Maul's escape and the latter then heads back to Zanbar to command the Death Watch army.
