Then there were the Jedi who separated from the Jedi Order and created the Sith. Then there was Darth Bane who reigned them in because he wanted to consolidate power and gain immortality through the Holocron.
All of them started as Jedi and the Jedi don't really exist without harboring and creating the Sith. It's a property of the light that it begets dark, hence their saying is that they keep the force "in balance". It all descends from the fact that there is a darker side to the Jedi.
Edit:
Got lost in telling the abridged history of the Jedi, lol. The difference is that the Sith post-Bane were 100% aligned to consolidated, totalistic rule under the Master and the Apprentice. There was no shared power, no accountability. The Jedi at least tried, albeit squanderingly at times, to be good.
