So? The writers weren't forced to make there only be grav drives

And Tolkien was not forced to hinder the Hobbits from inventing full automatic guns, but the Lord of the Rings would be completely different if he hadn't.

And the same is true for Starfield and other options of FTL. It would be a completely different game, with a completely different story.

Starfield is hard sci-fi at it's core, with the exception of the grav drive and the powers/unity, a near future setting that is in most parts plausible and possible, a realistic game set in a realistic universe.
