Think of it as this.
Say I defleet someone, but that defleet took 2 weeks of gathering turns, buying in 200 credits worth of voodoo and there is STILL a chance of failure.
Now that I defleeted that person, I have ships worth 500 credits combined on the market, which I must wait to sell before I can start raiding others.
A merchant takes 2 years of trading, and they will be making 15mil a day, and never have to worry about failed raids or lost voodoo.
Just repeat after me: "Czar Ivan did not help me win the elections."
