Monsignor Pope Ping!
To make a huge show of His Resurrection and/or appear to Pilate and the Sanhedrin, etc would have been contrary to that and all he taught.
My view? Jesus appears to those who have earned it - through their faith, discipline and righteousness.
Very few of us are born being able to figure out calculus, but with the help of a teacher, many more of us can achieve it. Who will the teacher most help? Those students who don’t care? Or those who are trying hard to learn and achieve?
The LORD our God follows His own rules. He does not attempt to skirt the formulas in order to create the impossible. He has given us freedom. If so, He still gives us freedom. We come to Him not because we’ve seen something which cannot be. We come to him wanting to know Him rather than how He managed to make the impossible possible. He touches us all, some feel His touch and others do not. Some see Him and others are blind. This, in turn, sets the wheel in motion for GOD’s miracles to work thru us, His flock.
PTL!
JMHO
Luke 16:31
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Some people just aren’t going to trust in the Lord.
Yeah... that’s it
While we would like the details, we don't need the details.
We have all that is needed in the NT on how to come to faith in Christ and how to walk with Christ.
This comes down to a matter of faith.
It wasn’t hidden. Many people saw him and even though there was a Roman guard, a body was never found. the knowledge of his resurrection was so widely accepted by both religious and secular historians, that the birth of Jesus Christ is the reference point for the entirety of recorded history.
Maybe just because nobody was hanging around the tomb in the predawn hours waiting for Jesus to resurrect as He said He would.
It wasn’t hidden as much as not out in public, but then again, tombs tend to be single use places.
