My opinion would be Susanna's if I had bought the game expecting a friendly, coop-only environment. That's more what I expect when joining a private Minecraft server (but of course checking the rules first would be a good idea), but I don't think Frontier has ever advertised the game like this. And yet because Frontier realize different folks will be looking for different things in the game, they have at the very least offered three options to tailor your multiplayer experience according to your tastes. Anybody can create a testosterone-free private group if they're not interested in competition, and they will have absolute authority over who they play with. And they ahve also provided an anything-goes environment for those interested in that. I agree with you that some aspects of the game suffer from a lack of direction or a misguided attempt to satisfy too many at once, but this isn't it.
Susanna has no business judging other players' actions in Open as wrong, and even less judging these players' RL moral compass, unless these actions break the rules we all agree to by playing the game. And even if a player's action in the game trully reflect a hidden aspect of their personality: so what, what is it to the rest of us? It doesn't impact us negatively, not in a way that, if we didn't outright consent to, we weren't at least expected to prepare ourselves for. Join a sex dungeon and people will probably expect that you want sex dungeony things done to your cargo scoop. Nobody could reasonably blame those who then give you what you signaled, by joining, that you wanted.
