Second reason is playerbase - we aren't EVE Online with hundreds of players 24/7.
We shouldn't force players, because that's the worst thing we would do now.
As for lore thing, do you remember quote from the Deus Ex Human Revolution? "Corporations have more power than the governments" - especially in such a vast region as Sirius. Just look at Kishiro, or, how it was supposed to be played, being the guys in charge of entire Republic. Not Grand Assembly, not KPT, not KNF, not Gallic Kingdom - but Kishiro are the main lobbyists and puppeteers of Kusari. My view on Kishiro is, if some naval or authority officer tries to do some mess with corporation, his daughter is missing - if he continues, said daughter is found, abused and murdered by "unknown thugs". And I don't think it would be different in case of certain other corporations.
It is safe to pressume that all major players, which possess a lot of money, have power and without them, governments would just fall and be replaced by people picked by domestic megacorporations. Just look at Synth and lore around Planet Stuttgart. A "silly FOREIGN corporation" tied down hands of entire Rheinland, what gave birth to LWB movement. LPI is the only privately-owned police in entire Sirius, there, we have Xenos. We have GMG, which are corporate faction that actually took control of Sigma-13, a bottleneck between Kusari and Rheinland - the latter making mistake by attacking GMG and losing entire fleet sent to subdue "silly miners".
Doesn't this only proof lobbyism has "control" over KNF/KSP?
Why do you see this as forcing players to something. I see it as a natural component for a RP game. If you are in a trading corp...you trade...and so on. This is called "direction".
