Your view of the Zoners seems to be colored by your interactions with new players who are drawn to the faction's shipline, but not its roleplay.
I maintain that if we were to come up with a legitimate function for those ships to fulfill - for example, by giving the Zoners an enemy they can't reason with, or merely just encouraging dustups between the Zoners and their pirate neighbors - you will see fewer Zoner caps exhibiting unwanted behaviors.
