I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Beyond the need for reaction mass, it's also just an interesting gameplay element that makes you think a bit about your range.
Without the need for fuel there would be no impediment for explorers to just fly out from the Core systems and never look back. With fuel requirements there are a lot of interesting scenarios for player cooperation (refueling) and for even solo ops like gas giant skimming for hydrogen.

Pure game play fun as far as I am concerned. It adds depth to game play. Don't you want to scoop? We will have deep space refuel stations, other ships will be able to refuel us etc. etc.
We could also think up a future in which spaceships become completely superfluous, but Elite's game play might somewhat suffer because of that too

He has a point. Why do we even need money?
Exactly. Everybody knows that Utopia is scheduled to arrive in the year 2525.
For that matter why have a game, or the need of challenges and obstacles to overcome? I think they should give it all to us, with no work involved.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
