Because 90% of the traders trade for the profit. That's the point of a trader anyways in the first place. On the other hand, a pirate earns at most 5% of what a trader earns. Even with 20-million-demands.
True...I mean think about it, if there were no pirates, traders (Who trade to play-not trade for eat) will just get bored and eventually stop it, turn to mining and NPC missions. Also, law enforcers factions will be...useless (Just to put it right).
Just look at the houses with low piracy levels (Rheinland, Kusari, Gallia which I hope will get more attention after Rishiri---->Loraine connection) Boring!

Because some traders do even prefer to die, over paying 100.000 credits to a pirate. No matter if paying would have been cheaper. Logical. No. Is there a point in speaking about inlogical topics? No.
Another point made right by Narcotic. I used to be a Rogue indie recently, pirating most of the time, avoiding the navies. I got really pissed of when maybe less that 10% of the traders whom I met accepted to pay, the rest preferred to die than paying a single penny, that's why I tuned to Bounty Boards!
I really enjoy trading, especially in convoys...Best part is getting busted by pirates, then making that funny RP, maybe then killing them or getting killed, or just paying!
