Who would turn anything against the Zoners? The Zoners aren't a para-military group. The worst they'd see is a stupid pirate attacking them occasionally (worst I've ever seen). Factions respect the Zoners and it doesn't seem prudent to attack a group that sells you good stuff. Whats the motivation? If I'm going to war with my mortal enemy and the Zoners are selling me materiel so that I might prosecute said war why am I going to attack them? Its like saying lets bomb Lockheed Martin with a Stealth Bomber... that was fun...
But when it comes to ships, yes the Zoners might limit proliferation. Allies and closer buddies. But your logic seems to imply that they'd only keep them to themselves. You can't be a very good capitalist if you don't sell anything, and Zoners are definitely capitalist.
