Low effort?
Perhaps not as low effort as you might expect.
But ok, let's assume its just a few weeks work for a relatively small team, the question from management side would be what does it add of value compared to other things those same people could be working on?
I'm sure after Odyssey's release there is still going to be plenty of work for everyone working on ED and of course, FD will need to start looking to what comes after Odyssey, which may include (we can hope) full ship interiors and space EVA and stuff.
So, looking at it from a management perspective, divert resources sooner just to add walking about cockpits, which adds zero additional gameplay value, or leave it until they are ready to tackle the whole project of walking around ships and beyond.
I see no value here in trying to push FD to prioritize such a feature at this time (not that FD would likely change their plans for the nearest future anyway in relation to this). In fact, one complaint often levelled at FD is they only deliver partial features, they don't follow through fully fleshing out systems, and basically what you are asking for here is a very partial system that adds little value.
