This.
If the pirates could make a decent profit then the traders would just be smuggling to their bases. Cargo piracy is only truly worthwhile in a few locations, such as the famous Kusari ore theft about a year ago which netted the participants billions. Otherwise if pirate bases are not buying the cargo then there is no profit.

Besides, most pirates can't get rich off of taking money anyways. At most they at least need enough to restock their fighter with ammo when it blows up, which can take upwards of 800K...

Fighters are also the best ship in the game, one can kill just about anything and two can kill a gunboat. They are also the ship type that survives most easily, so you know, pirates don't want to die... and how are you going to cargo pirate with a 50 unit cargo hold?
