The Sith are different from someone who just uses the darkside of the Force in terms of philosophy and knowledge.
Because a Sith Lord recruits his own apprentice and then passes down generations of knowledge and training, its unlikely that anyone outside of that order will become a Sith.
Its not just about falling to the darkside of the Force. There were lots of those during the Clone Wars. Even Ventress wasn't considered to be a Sith because she was never given that knowledge or the specific Sith training. Instead she was taught to use her rage and be an assassin.
The Sith under Bane had specific goals and specific secrets that are only shared between a master and apprentice.
When Palpatine died and Vader turned and then died that knowledge wasn't passed on.
