In real life smugglers generally use smaller vessels or hide their smuggled goods amongst other legal commodities being transported. The use of large ships and transport planes is very rare. I think it's a question of trying to establish some degree of balance and perhaps discouraging the practice of, for example, running 5000 units of slaves openly through several major systems. In real-life, trafficking in human cargo is all very small-scale, relatively speaking.

Bribing the authorities isn't factored into the game (unless some clever cop learns to RP accordingly).
And certainly there is no real risk for people smuggling contraband considering it is available at such low prices at pirate bases. Reward, certainly. Risk, no.
