The devil is not the God of the underworld. He does not get points for steering people away from God. Satan is not a God at all, like the rest of Creation he is a servant/Has a role to perform.
And yet god of the underworld is exactly how he is portrayed isn't it! he is supposed to try and tempt people to the dark side even tryng it on god jr himself.
Satan is portrayed as the god of the underworld to those who create their own narrative outside of what is described in the bible. Look at the book of Job and the role he plays. Satan is only allowed to do what God allows him to do. Tempting Christ was apart of that plan. Does a god play by the plans of another? does a god knee or yield to another if so then they forgo the title of god. As a supreme being does what he wants not what another wills.
Those who ascribe satan the title of god of the underworld have gotten their theologies confused with that of other religions. Which seems to be the problem with the assumptions you make in the OP
