Luckily there’s a very simple explanation as to why, and we’re going to break it down below since theStar Warsfilms make no mention of it.

However it’s pretty hard to miss that after his turn to the Dark Side he still carries his blue lightsaber, when everyone knows the Sith wield red ones.
If you’re not familiar with the wider lore, every lightsaber has a kyber crystal inside which dictates what colour the blade will be, though red kyber crystals don’t occur naturally.
To get a red one a Sith must “bleed” a crystal, which is often the final step in becoming a true Sith Lord.

The idea of bleeding a kyber crystal to make a red one also didn’t exist when the prequels came out.
Basically, therealreason Anakin doesn’t have a red lightsaber inRevenge Of The Sithis because the production team simply didn’t give him one, but the in-universe explanation essentially boils down to him not having enough time to make one, after all he had a Republic to topple.
Personally I think Anakin getting his red lightsaber inRevenge of the Sithwould have been a bad decision, as it was far more impactful to see two blue lightsabers clash in the finale to fit the theme of betrayal.
