I would say it is necessary. I understand why a number of people don't like it as it makes the game more difficult and it seems unfair to be able to lose things that cost you real world money one way or another. You won't be able to eliminate everything that produces risk by just not flying in space either since things like welding wire require components from multiple planets.
However, if you eliminate PvP then you are going to have a devastating effect on the economy, and a tragic effect on the realism of the game. It is illogical to think the universe a perfectly peaceful place especially when money is involved. People will no longer have to rely on MS anymore or on other players who protect them in space to get to other planets. Those players that invested in one would be screwed over and so would any players who attempt to create businesses for protection. However, I have a feeling the next time I'm looted in space I will be singing a different tune. It's all a matter of perspective. Besides, as someone else mentioned, it really doesn't matter what I as a player think, what matters is what the top brass who built this universe think, and how they want things to pan out.
Just be glad they haven't decided it necessary that, other than against pirates, there needs to be a war. Actually that might be kind of fun...
