Palpatine could have simply incapacitated Luke with Force lightning, keep him prisoner, and slowly torture Luke until Luke gives in to the Dark side. This way he still gets to keep a super powerful Force user as an apprentice.

Yes. Luke had defeated his greatest servant in a fair fight, defiantly stood his ground, and told Palpatine it wasn’t going to happen.
Fun time was over. Kill him and move on.
Oh, yes. When he defied the Emperor, and the Emperor saw he couldn’t be turned, the Emperor decided to destroy him. He would have killed Luke if Vader hadn’t intervened.
