Some of these pirates once tried attacking an actual warship, mistaking it for a cargo ship. So they don't seem to be the smartest or most prepared.

Most desperate and possibly trying to pay ransom for their families.

I would imagine the ones that attack an armed ship don't make it back to warn the others.

And the ones that succeed probably didn't run into resistance.
