There's much more profit in intercepting the ore haulers than intercepting regular traders. Their cargo is more valuable so we can charge much more (without feeling too bad, and I'm speaking as a pirate here).
However, I agree that a rise in the profits from trading couldn't hurt. I've been using my Bowex Shire for gold ore hauling because of the better profits, and I want to be able to change that and still make enough to fund my various projects.
