Spoilers: Star Wars: The Last Jedi
raidem:
Who cares of how Lucas had it 'originally.' I mean how many different takes, screenplays, drafts do they consider before they finally decide on final product. It's been 30+ years how Lucas finally decided to play it out in the original trilogy.
You can see however that Palpatine in the trilogy decided to play son against father and whoever won would be his apprentice.
The rule of 2 was also protection against the Sith history of internal fratricide on steroids.

Can there really only be 2 Sith in the entire Galaxy?

The rule of two(which is a book of the same name iirc) was invented(iirc lol) by Darth Bane as a way to prevent the infighting and civil wars of the Sith order of earlier days. Supposed to be the apprentice surpasses and ergo kills the master and finds his own apprentice, or finds apprentice and teams up to kill master, ect.
Interesting, I feel like because of the way balance works and this new 'light rises to meet it' concept might have made the Sith stronger as they represented a larger portion of the balance. Which is a neat way to explain Palpatine's ridiculous overpowerment.

THAT lol, so that...
Rasins:
Okay, so we know that going dark can be a choice, just like living on the light side is a choice.
If you go to the dark side, does that "automagically" make you want to kill other force users?
Isn't that kind of self-destructive for the Sith. I mean, I know it doesn't have to make sense, but still ...

No. The act of going to the darkside requires really negative emotions. So the type of person to cross over is most likely the type of person who is ambitious, violent, and paranoid. Those are the characteristics that make them dangerous. They aren't automatically murderers of other force users though. For example Darth Plagus wanted an equal to rule the galaxy with. Unfortunately for him Sidius didn't feel the same way. Another Darth ended up being killed because he had feelings for the female he'd taken on as an apprentice, she wanted to rule though.
Dark side users use all their emotions while light side typically do not. Anakin went over to the dark side because of the love of a woman, and his willingness to do anything to save her, which is why Jedi aren't allowed to have to have romantic relationships.
Once again, there were Sith in the past who wanted there to be a lot of other Sith. It was Darth Bane who became Emperor who started the trend of only 2.

So the Sith could start up a temple and start recruiting force users and training them like the Jedi did, since the Sith Emperor is now long gone?
