He always was short-sighted about things like that. Like how he killed his subordinates when they made mistakes rather than letting them learn from them and become better minions.
In people's like vadars eyes their death isn't a punishment for them but a warning for others. A single loss life probably is less valuable they keeping everyone else in line. Which one his mind is the out come he will get
There's some theories around the whole "Jedi must not love" rule that could have been fun.
Love binding people together such that one cannot survive without the other. Love from a Force user, even unwittingly, overpowering and enthralling a partner. Love making one selfish, and therefore prone to the corrupt tendencies of the Dark Side.
I think Palpatine very nakedly used Anakin's love as leverage for his fall. Even exploiting the bond to bring Anakin back from the brink of death at Padama's expense. Idk if I think Anakin did it. At least, not consciously. He's just too naive and easily manipulated.

He has a change of heart and expels Palpatine... then the Jedi council as well.
The galaxy is now run by the Skywalker council of younglings.
