If I were Anakin and holding a crystal in the presence of Mace and Yoda who refuse to let me date, refused to let me go rescue my mother from slavery, and would leave me to rotting and smuggling spice to make a living the moment I try to leave the Jedi, I'd be seething with hatred and that crystal would turn red faster than the Millennium Falcon's top speed.
I assume the same goes with Palpatine. You say you're a "student of the human condition", but don't seem to understand that hatred never goes away. Even now in my life there are just some coworkers or relatives that I can never forget did me harm, either directly or indirectly (obviously not to the point that legal action needs to be taken but things my parents told me as a child--mainly indoctrinating me in the Christian religion that did me so much harm in life--that I blindly followed that permanently affected my life negatively, etc.). That hatred never goes away. Not for a day, not for a minute, not for an instant. I feel it now as I type this. I feel it when I see them. I try NOT to mention it every chance I get. The pain and anguish and bitterness never stop. You feel it all the time. I'm not going out chopping people with lightsabers or weapons or whatever and never will because of my strong moral code, but that pain never leaves at all. I feel it every second even when I'm concentrating on something else. The pain manifests in my dreams. As long as I live (barring brain damage, memory loss, dementia, etc.) I will never forget it, never forget the harm religion caused to my life (I don't want to detail in a public forum but you can DM me if you really want to know) and will live with that till the day I die.
You're "something of a student of the human condition", do you understand and can try to understand what it is to feel everything I just wrote? Well if not, maybe you learned something new.
