They don't leave behind a lot of evidence and a make sure people are on a need to know bases. Cinder made sure Roman an Adam were on one and I'm sure Emerald and Mercury didn't know everything. Hell, Salem probably hasn't told her lieutenants everything either.

They aren't going to suddenly pick up the idiot ball and start gloating about their nefarious plans. It takes slip ups like Ilia dropping her scroll while being chased by Blake and Sun. The plans aren't going to fall into the heroes' laps. They have to work for it. And during Vol. 4, RNJR and WBY and their own problems to deal with first.

And we are still near the beginning of the story. There is long ways to go before we, the audience, know anything either.
