Do you think Sasuke has done nothing to wash his brother's name clean after the war? I don't think neither Sasuke nor Naruto would have let this false information and hatred towards Itachi spread any further. It was an historical event. It's unthinkable that the true events of this night were kept a secret, especially after was long dead. Also, if the new villain is an Uchiha, I think it's clear that he'd know about the Uchihas' curse of hatred thing. That is kind of self-explanatory.

I think for sasuke, the most important thing is to keep Uchiha clan's name clean than vindicating Itachi... so he will not do anything to make Itachi a hero by spoiling the reputation of the legendary Uchiha clan. Also it will be against Itachi's will to reveal the truth
