I presume, much like the Sansha events, that activity on the loyalist side will affect turn out for the Pirates. Some Sansha upliftings there were going poorly dramatically improved when TS-F arrived and warbled our way into the enemy. I do not know how the Angel or Serpentis events have fared with their loyalists, and the Guristas seemed to respond ok.
Edit ; Also, frankly, there isn't much reason to not include cyno jamming to stop hot drop shenanigans unless they specifically want it. Setting up illegal cynosural jammers can probably be the main way 'strong' pirate activity can be tracked by the Empires/CONCORD, giving anti-Pirates something to bite onto if they need it.
