Keep in mind that parachuting in real life has always had deadly consequences. Slow, controlled decent=easy target. I am guessing kinetic dampeners are the same way. Bailing out works, but landing is safer for the passengers.
Also there was no indication of a maximum height, just a minimum.
Kinetic dampeners are automatic.
Galaxy pilots STILL have to get the passengers to where they need to go, that won't always be easy.
Also Galaxies can be used as a light gun-boat, so there is other uses for a Galaxy pilot.
