I don't think it's as much a political statement as it is a gameplay decision. It forces the player to come up with solutions to problems rather than go in guns blazing like you do in most other games. I don't really get what you mean by harassing. The predators in this game are easy to avoid if you just pay attention to your surroundings. If a stalker is near for example a fragment you want, just keep your distance and wait until it swims away. I think most people who finds not being able to kill hostile creatures in Subnautica annoying do so because they're so used to being able to just that. It's not "dumb", it's different. So I say what I usually say; live with it the way it is, or play a different game.
