With what? Their little dingys are no threat to a cargo ship with a few armed guards. If they somehow get ahold of a real vessel then a national navy can go sink it
The whole idea is to not let things get to that point.
It's also important to recognize, the US withdrawing internationally (and wasting tons of money we've already spent, mind you) doesn't mean places become a harmonious area. Another country will replace it.
Given how much international water China already claims is actually Chinese territory, and their ships harassing and sinking civilian fishing vessels, I would rather stay with the devil i know.
Because Navy ships patrol those routes. Remove that, and the pirates would be able to expand.

I’d rather the US not waste billions of barrels of fuel and trillions of dollars policing the territory of others while Americans suffer.
I don’t think it’s at all realistic to think the US withdrawing would take us back to the days of rampant impactful piracy.
He’ll just watch em from space and hit ‘em with the rod from god
