I think that's an easy one- because the GL of the OT didn't have inclination of a concept of this 'rule of 2' crap from the PT. My personal feeling is that came about because GL couldn't think of a way to make the Jedi think there might be another Sith around somewhere after Qui and Obi encountered Maul. The clueless Jedi couldn't sense the Sith at all according to the PT films, so when Qui-Gon says (and I paraphrase) "I think that dude was a Sith!" GL had to make some character point out that another bad guy existed, as obviously there can be mo mystery in the PT SW Universe. So we GL pulls out of his ass "uh... there are always two... a master and a bitch... oh wait... a master and an apprentice.... that's it!"
