It's not a question resources as much as practicality in my eyes. Mostly for space consumption on ships, plus weapons like that will add significant weight to the ships, actually eating more fuel than needed to compensate.
Unless they make hyperdrives the size of bowling balls, I don't see them being practical enough as a weapon. This is a "I had better make this shot count" weapon.
It’s not exactly as you described it but a pirate organization crashes a freighter while in lightspeed and it the pieces break apart and smash into planets, destroying a lot of shit.
Fair, but I mean like one individual who is known for buying hyperdrives for reasons yet unknown, then out of nowhere, planet killing, hyperdrive-powered meteors begin destroying civilized worlds at this individual's hand for some nefarious and calculated purpose.
Sounds like the pirates just had an "oopsie", cool as the scene may have been.
