Who knows?
Palpatine's robes might have offered protection? Ever thought like this?
Valkorion is noted for destroying Izax. Entire Empire of Zakuul was aware. We have a tangible showing here.
Palpatine spent 5 years on Byss, consolidating his powers before making his move. I am not questioning his wisdom to create armies. However, if you can discipline the rebels singlehandedly, you set an example. You don't just rely on conventional stuff to do your bidding.
Point is that their might be realistic limitations to what Palpatine can achieve on the ground. He conjured a Force Storm to wipe out a fleet. However, it may not be practical for him to conjure that power on the ground where he is present. It might also take time to destroy a world.
Valkorion's Consume Storm was really practical for the battlefield on the otherhand. It swiftly exterminated everybody on the planet.
The bias cannot be more real. Valkorion can deflect superweapon beams back at themselves but Palpatine can't even tank a blaster bolt without it being his cloak that's protecting him. 😂
**** off, will you?
