[Star Wars] If the Sith, and Palpatine in particular, follow the "Rule of 2" then why was he okay with tons of Inquisitors running around during the early years of the empire?

The only way I can see it working is based off a technicality of them not being proper Sith but Palpatine doesn't strike me as the person to use such loopholes to get away with things. As well as this the rule doesn't really seem to be a thing that can be handwaved away since the whole point of it's existence is to primarily protect Palpatine from his apprentices.

I just don't get why he was chill with all these quasi Sith Lords running around. What if Vader worked with them to betray the old man and rule the empire himself? There was at least seven of them that I have seen and he was alone with them routinely. This seems to be the exact thing the Rule of 2 would have disallowed. 

Even in Disney Canon itself Palpatine orders the killing of Ventress in Clone Wars in order to follow the Rule of 2. That's just one person! Why the fuck did he a few years later decide it was okay to have at least 7 little Ventress' running around the Galaxy?

Palpatine also doesn't care about rules. Every Sith thinks they're the best and most powerful. He wants to control the galaxy, you need a few enforcers. He probably doesn't consider them his apprentices, but it's not like he didn't have other apprentices as well.
