Vader also had shielded TIE advanced, and First Order modified basic TIE fighter design to include shields. However, more elite crews do get shielded spacecraft, and one example is aforementioned TIE Defender, idea od Admiral Thrawn to beat Rebels by superior quality, not quantity. Imperial Navy is somewhat similar to Japanese Imperial Navy from WW2 in their tactics, they even have similar uniforms.
Instead, they emphasize numbers, firepower and maneuverability. Empire doesn't give rat's a.s about crew survivability, at least if we are talking about average Imperial pilots. Mass produced Imperial fighters like TIE fighter, TIE bomber or TIE Interceptor don't have shields or hyperdrive in their original factory configuration.
