I’m guessing;
- space flight so cheap that a normal person could buy and use a space vehicle for less than the cost of a house
- space freight

Space flight it’s self doesn’t have to be that cheap. Easiest way to get a pirate ship wasn’t to buy one, but for the crew to mutiny and remove the captain.
Want more pirate ships? Make sure the crews of other ships know that you will let them live if they don’t put up a fight and they might reconsider following the orders of their own captain. Target ships you should be able to easily beat.
Still goes back to needing cheap space flight. Expensive and rare space flight means highly trained and compensated crew. There’s no incentive or likelihood to mutiny: it’s not in your best interest. It’s only when you have cheap and plentiful space flight that you can exploit and underpay crew enough for them to see an advantage in mutiny
I suppose cheap is relative, but it doesn’t need to be something 1 person can afford on their own.
Could be expensive in fuel but otherwise any idiot can do it and pirates steal fuel from merchant ships.
