cuz they were already powerless but their continued existence provided the illusion of representation and a role in government to the people. the "replacement plan" was the death star and just openly ruling by fear.

so it just wasn't a priority

The Roman Empire took more than 500 years to abolish the Senate. In fact, the Roman Senate was not abolished until after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.

And by the time it finally disappeared, we were so far in the Dark Ages that there is no historical record of the Roman Senate's dissolution. It just doesn't appear in the records we have anymore, and then after the recovery there was no more Senate.
