Is it ever definitively established that the Rebellion didn't copy the plans and distribute them?
Another thought is that "The Rebellion" smacks a bit of the "People's Front of Judea" and possibly they were trying to keep the plans from the Judean People's Front. We see this story entirely from the Rebel's point of view. We have little idea if they are the only rebellion, if there are multiple working at cross purposes or even if they aren't in fact the good guys. I mean, they are essentially trying to reestablish a mystical theocracy. (You can follow this hole down for Star Trek as well, which I've done many, many times.)
I've got two:
1. Cars/Planes. There was a car WWII. That means there was a car Hitler. Think about that for a minute. There's a great fan theory that Cars exists in our own world, but after the human race is wiped out by disease.
2. Lord of the Rings. Plot holes aside, again with the mystical rulers and their ignorant but wise and hardworking minions. There's just a lot going on here, but if you've never heard of it, I highly recommend The Last Ring Bearer by Kirill Eskov. It's the story told from the perspective of Mordor, which is a burgeoning industrial state that is crushed by imperialists.
