You have quite a few assumptions there and not a shred of evidence.
We actually have quite a bit of recorded history concerning these two manuscripts.

But they do seem to have survived and, on those occasions when copies were made it seems likely that the originals were tossed. Remember, it was not until the 10-11th century that some unknown scribe altered "Chrestians" to "Christians." Before that, it probably wasn't of all that much interest to anyone. One might speculate that the big interpolation was made at the same time. In that one, Tacitus probably repeated the tale of his friend Suetonius and mentioned that the Chrestians had been thrown out of Rome by the Emperor Claudius. That's a fairly mild observation considering where jesusism was in the 11th century so the much better line was substituted where "Christos" was then executed by Pilate because every fine catholic boy had been regurgitating the various "creeds" which the church insisted the sheeple repeat. I'm sure it sunk in.
