Historical pirates were likely just as thuggish, gang. Only the flamboyant ones got remembered. Kinda' like Al Capone gets remembered but most of his Chicago mob goons are long forgotten - they were the norm but he was the stand out.
The pirate captains are the ones in the history books. Their dress, demeanor, attitude, etc. Most modern day pirates are simple collection of like-minded crooks, and standing out is probably NOT the smart thing.
