Seems like it'd be easier, honestly, so I think they're being pretty nice at trying to rule them instead of outright murdering everyone.
[Seriously, with all the tech here, and with how much of a pain these locals are, why haven't they just done that?

They can't. You can't enslave a dead people. There are no resources to be had when there is nothing left, no one to work the crops, no one to pay them taxes and tributes.
