btw that's all 3rd gen ST, and still rarely seen. A shuttle in EVE is about the size of small cruiser in ST.

Sticks are for airplanes in space. Anything bigger would need to be by computer control, due to the large amount of thrusters and mass. EVE oversimplifies it if not for the narrative that capsuleers (player pilot characters) have a direct neuro connection to the ship.
After all, the EVE universe is set in the very distant future, cut off from Earth, civilization having crumbled and eventually risen again. Sticks are for little fighters and such, low mass, few thrusters, likely with atmospheric flight capabilities. Sticks are considered the minigame, something you access through Dust or Valkyrie, and as small ships that's where they do fit.
X3 can use sticks, but it can be very annoying when commanding large ships. Don't think this is the future? Look at todays self-driving cars. Yeah they are fail, but in time it will improve.
