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

    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.
