It’s extremely rare, not particularly well known, difficult to work with, and not very durable. You saw how Darth Bortles’s helmet sustained lightsaber hits but broke from a punch. It has limited usefulness, but Sith armor is one use.

Nothing is so extremely rare that the empire wouldn't have it. Arguing Palpatine wouldn't have heard of it seems like a dead end. You can maybe argue palps wouldn't give the separatists something that useful, but his dedicated jedi hunters would have had it.
