I think its about control and power.
A pirate likes to feel powerful, salivating over his prey on the monitor, beating a defenseless ship down and demanding a ransom, total control and power trip until....
The other guy has the money but refuses to pay and is prepared to lose his ship/implants etc.
Pirate has just lost control cos he doesnt get what he wants in the way he wants it and passive powerplay goes to the defiant player miner.
Good for the miner 
edit - forgot to say that many miners also have some measure of self respect

Never mine with anything but standard kit, surprised folk would do otherwise
Why give a pirate a juicy prize, your kitted for mining and running - not battle - why kit a half way house?
Cheap, cheerful and expendable so that if you lose it you can afford a rueful but self respecting chuckle while the pirates congratulate themselves on another 'glorious and brave miner gank' while feeling ever more ashamed  .
Surely ganking miners is for PvP noobs anyway, its even easier than NPC hunting
