Eventually, you’re gonna have to grab that other guy and jump off the cliff. And now, instead of a economically productive and valuable planet, you have an asteroid field. That, sure, you can mine for minerals, but that effort is now going to cost orders of magnitude more.
And lets be honest. If the goal was to keep people too afraid to try anything, eventually some dumb kid from a dried up backwater is going to blow it up. And then you look really fucking weak.
The economic loss of entire systems, though, is just bad for business.
