Early game: I have no money, so paying for the travel is financially unsound.
Later game: It's 50km gate to gate, to travel 4 sectors to the next gate. I need to travel 32 sectors. I can do this 8 times (10 seconds travel time between gates) and take 80 seconds while spending money before coming to the closest sector I can to the place I want to go and making a hyper jump. Or I can jump three times with 20 seconds of cool down, save 20 seconds, and save money.
Simple solution: Make gate connections connect to systems 10+ sectors away
More complicated solution: Keep current gates, but place them closer to the stations. Add in a second set of gates that connect to "trade hubs" that are longer distances apart.

I do not use gates in this game. Never.
