There is only one reason to postulate dark energy, to explain the exponential expansion rate of the universe. The expansion was discovered in 1929. It was discovered that the expansion was accelerating in 1998, this is when the concept of dark energy became mainstream.
If something accelerates at a constant rate it will get faster and faster. If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would achieve about 95% light speed in 1 year.
Electricity is drawn towards potential and the universe as a whole behaves the same way. Electricity comes into our homes because the neutral circuit provides the potential. Electricity is drawn towards grounding rods for the same reason.
Physicists in the last century did not postulate dark energy because they understood that the expansion is a fundamental property of the universe. The fact that the expansion is accelerating does not invalidate their reasoning, it's what the known laws of physics would predict.
All studies to find dark energy have been fruitless because it doesn't exist. To say there is dark energy is to say there is 5 fundamental forces, there is 4.
