Cutting your crew saves money, increases range (less provisioning = more room for other things), and more space/payload for things other than people.

Then when the first major attack gets through the task force, the small crewed ship, whose automation just went belly up in the fire, has insufficient bodies (especially if there are substantial casualties) to fight the damage. The ship with three times as much crew pulls a Bunker Hill - that ship should NEVER have survived the amount of damage she did. QFT

Thats why the Zumwalt will not sport a cre of 100, no matter how many times they say it.
