I advise you to do some math. 10 million per hour isn't that much. Usual trade with 3ker and pretty good route can earn you around 60 Million per hour, if not more.
Also, it's not killing trading. It's to make players use their characters more, not only log-kill-out scenarios. There are many players, which after three hours of eventless patrol/piracy would be like: "ugh, I got nothing today and I would rather spend these hours on trading".
It's to encourage players to log other than trade characters - and actually rewarding players for logging these characters, it's more a passive way of earning, as opposed to active one (trading, mining), which gives you up to 8x more money. It doesn't give much money, to be abused to a longer extent.
If you think it is, well, good game flying around and waiting 6 hours for 60 millions 30 million credits. Plus, it's not black magic for admins to find out one player is doing nothing at all, especially over the system plane, abusing it.

Admins. They can easily teleport to you in every moment. And erase your ship for doing it. AFK trading, being AFK over system plane and abusing gameplay mechanics are sanctionable - very harshly.
