Because we aren't rich :(

I don't like to judge people based on their appearances but dude

Now I'm picturing him as the protagonist of a YA dystopia novel

I mean is it even illegal in the Republic to be a Sith? Feeling hate or touching the dark side of the Force are not crimes on their own
He could easily say yeah I'm a Sith but can you prove I actually commit crimes or do you not like my approach to the Force
