Thus, 99.9% of the time, priests are not expected to be carrying massive amounts of money around.
If I did what was expected 99.9% of the time, I could be replaced by a script. We're not playing tic-tac-toe, are we?
Furthermore, the fact that this incident is so noteworthy should tell you that it's not exactly a common thing for you to get attacked...and if you make a habit of carrying around thousands and thousands of gold, you should already know that it's not even common for that circumstance.
No one, so far as I can tell, is calling for it to be more common for bandits to attack you and steal your gold. But I haven't yet seen anything that suggests that it should be less common, either.
As I said, I don't really mind the pirates. I can't say it's fun, but I understand their purpose. I sure hope their purpose is not to restrict priests' gameplay just for the sake of it though.
