[Star Wars] If Palpatine made Snoke why didn’t he have other Snoke’s guarding him instead of those Sith Troopers?

Maybe it’s the same reason why the Rule of Two thing existed in the first place - Palpatine wanted to limit threats to his power as much as possible.

Big armies of dark side users are actually less effective than one or two working in the shadows, because Dark Side Force users tend to turn on each other and have disastrous civil wars. Much better to have a powerful, obedient, united non-force sensitive army than a fractured, volatile, dangerous force sensitive army. I’m guessing it’s a sort of diminishing returns scenario. A handful of Sith Lords are dangerous. But too many of them will increase the likelihood of them turning on each other, and there’s still just one galaxy to conquer. Force users are good in combat, but fleets and armies are still way more powerful.
