There was something in a document over the Seamoth Upgrade (coming soon to non experimental) in which a "Directive 7" was mentionned. It wasn't explicitely said but the Directive 7 seems to forbid actual lethal weaponry onboard the colony/exploration ships and possibly forbid lthal weapon blueprints as well.

Though the previous guess is not actual put in words, the interaction between the two "characters" hints that the objective is to prevent violent or lethal internal conflict or power takeovers amongst the colonists/researchers. Essientially: don't give them tools to actually kill each other with.
