Probably because European colonial empires were massive dicks so it isn't hard to make a crew of pirates out to be at least somewhat sympathetic.

Aren't they more like mixed-results mercenaries/guns for hire?

The Ravagers are literally space pirates for comparison.

Pirates in our history are generally lawless, rapacious, murderous, double dealing, thugs. The pirates of today are essentially the same, choosing violence against vessels they believe to be easy prey.

Hollywood sometimes like to romanticize pirates and make them swashbuckling and dashing rogues, but in reality they were pretty awful.
