I think the EP system/ultimate skills has a lot more to do with species more than title. Sure Gabiru is a True/Awakened Demon Lord, but his species didn't change with the evolution, the same is true with Geld, who also just got an Ultimate Gift. After all, despite Rimuru awakening twelve demon lords, they are all not the same EP power level, because some are "weaker" species.

You'll also notice that these inferior mid-level spirits also didn't get Ultimate Skills, like Adalman.

So, it stands to reason that just becoming a True Demon Lord isn't enough, you have to have the right species qualifications, like being a demon, angel, human, or just a speicies that can develop into a upper-tier monster spirit.
