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 I really think not correcting the strongly assumed theory that a member of the Uchiha clan killed his entire clan voluntarily is the worst thing you can do to keep a clan's name clean. By not revealing it, he'd pollute the name of the Uchiha clan. By revealing the truth, however, he would merely lower the reputation of the Root. And the Root lost its head a long time ago with Danzou's death. Konoha has an entirely new political system. At the time when Itachi was still alive, revealing the truth would have been against his will. But at the time where the Root ceased to exist several years ago, it could hardly be against Itachi's will.
