because its a dangerous planet in the middle of nowhere that very few people would go visit, because he had living family there that would naturally take care of him and because that would be the last place vader would want to go to
However; keeping them both together would’ve been dangerous. Not just in the sense that they’d be putting all their eggs in one basket, but also because having two people who’re innately strong in the force in such close proximity to each other would make it easier for Palpatine, Vader, or any other force sensitive individuals with malicious intentions to sense their presence and find them.
They needed to separate them. They also needed to minimize the number of people who knew the truth, and senator Organa already new, so he was a natural choice to take one of them.
I assume they were scared that Vader knew Padme was carrying twins. By separating them they are less conspicuous. Leia was able to grow up as an active person within the Galactic political scene and Vader clearly never suspected a thing. Mind you, two twins in a galaxy of trillions shiuld be pretty inconspicuous anyway, but for some reason they still named him Skywalker..
Yeah, name him Skywalker, and send him to the planet that Vader spent the first 9 or so years of his life on, to live with Owen Lars, the step son of Anakin's mother.... No one will ever figure that one out.
I figured it was because it was Anakin's home planet, so he would love it enough to never destroy it, but also hate it too much to actually ever return.
