They are actively removing their most powerful, and best killers, from society.
There is no "Leaving the smartest, and strongest" in this equation, they are doing the opposite by removing free thinkers, and using psychics as ship batteries that die unless they are unlucky enough to be the Empresses Helmsman.
This isn't even politics, it's common sense. As easy as looking forward and breathing at the same time.
