In the Book Version I Died Already

So that headcanon just became canon.

David W. Collins (whose also the sound designer and responsible for the lightsaber scream) said in an interview that he had the idea that Maul built Spybot and when he pitched it to Brad Rau (the head writer for MSL), they neither confirmed nor denied it, just asked David what he thought felt right.

And he thinks Maul created him and that it says a lot about Maul's character that he allowed this droid to be so playful and carefree. That through Spybot he shows a side he can't be himself 😭

Here's the interview

Like, what's with this bot? I don't know.

There's other TF characters I feel I can write. Others in fandom can disagree with my work or interpretation, but I personally would feel comfortable doing the work.

But some characters are just all enigmatic and unhinged in a way that I don't even know where to start with them.

Who talks like that? This bot. He literally talks like that, apparently.
