Edit: To elaborate a little bit more on that, as you're growing in power the Darkside entity is also growing in power. You could draw from that that once you hit a certain threshold you're either controlling it or its controlling you. If you can't handle or manage those powers, you succumb to the bad parts. If you can, you tap into the advanced powers.
It is just theory, but I'd say that happens because...
A. Yoshi-P lost interest in using more darkside shenanigans.
B. You are the WoL. Which is like being an embodied 42.
From what your darkside said, they will always be there at the corner of your mind, ready to take reins if you decide to end with your "fallacy" of being a hero. I take that is, yes, the darkside is subdued for now, until for some reason you show a glimpse of weakness that he will use to persuade/tempt/force its weight.
I admittedly prefer this interpretation just because of the extra flavor that adds to being a DRK. You will be forever having keep yourself on your toes xP
