Palpatine only gave orders to Vader once. Snoke communicated with Kylo several times throughout and gave orders to other antagonists. There are plenty of main antagonists who stay in the background and let a subordinate confront the heroes for most of the movie, Niander Wallance from Blade Runner 2049 is a good example.
