And your history is missing a few things. During the last great Jedi and Sith war, Darth Bane saw the conflict within the Sith and knew that they would never be strong enough to defeat the Jedi. He discovered that the more Sith there are, the less powerful each individual is because that's how the Dark Side works (forgot why). So he created the "only two" rule, in order to maximize the strength of only two Sith who would eventually be able to eliminate the Jedi.
