I would argue that Luke was never just told he was a master and that was that. He left his training with Yoda early, against advisement, and lost a hand as a result of not being ready. His swagger in Return of the Jedi was largely an act, by his own admission, and had his father not turned, Luke would have been made a stain by Palpatine. As the new films progressed, it was clear he was still full of doubt, hence the failure with Kylo. Maybe he finally felt and acted like a master after his self imposed exile, meeting Rey and coming to terms with what he had to do. However the way he went about it was informed by a lifetime of loss and failure. This made him seek a path that was different than those that went before him, who cocked it all up with their overconfidence and willingness to throw their weight around.
