Weighted pathing would be too complicated, for the players and the developers. So what if the game will throw out your entire dangerous sector travel blacklist because of one insurmountable sector. So what if my NPC pilots do things that I won't do in battle and get themselves killed? It's not like hybrid simulation games like this exist where they won't, and ordering hundreds of units into battle is a sight to behold. So what if I have to manually pause the game and give my fleet explicit orders to do what I want, only for all those orders to be expunged because I ordered their commander to move and that forces a recall subordinates order? I'll try to remember not to do that next time. (The radically different logic of how they move way outside of the player’s bubble of awareness is even more logic-defyingly efficient!) So what if my NPC pilots don’t always fly in ways that conform to mortal comprehension of proceeding from point A to B, even phasing through solid geometry to get where they're going sometimes? So what if sometimes ships move in odd directions at impossible speeds because they are caught up in some kind of flocking algorithm? Watching a Zeus E supercarrier skid sideways halfway across a sector after the Rattlesnake I ordered followed was good fun. Some gems you’ll find the need to adapt to include:

While every major revision is worth a fresh playthrough for me, I've decided to accept that there's a lot of things they're just not going to fix. That said, though Egosoft has a great track record of supporting their games well after release, there's a lot of jank in some Egosoft games to adapt to. No other game of its type lets you grow your own empire of space stations and ships that work for you while you continue piloting around (well, maybe Avorion or StarMade) and this is a great stand apart feature for X games.
