Taking star-systems away from a well-established, highly-developed nation-state has a prohibitive diplomatic and social cost, whereas changing "your vassals" into "my vassals" can be done just with the installing of a few supposedly "free" governments.
The Empire of the Sun will be extremely difficult to defeat, but it will, once defeated, be relatively easy and straightforward to dismantle.
Every advantage has its downsides. This is no exception.

What's the downside to the advantage of having a border that breaks sensors and such?
