I am very very bad at capturing the burning blade because so many people are trying to capture it and you can't guarantee that you are going to be the one to take over the burning blade. The main issue is, let's say I've captured the burning blade it is the most fun in the world and within 5 minutes a really experienced crew comes down and sinks the burning blade. I'm heart broken. So I think players would like to test their might against AI Burning blade and improve their skills by themselves. So I think adding the burning blade to safer seas would be great for two reasons 1, For other players to challenge their might and 2, so you guarantee that no one else is going to try and get it and when you've captured it no one will come and try and sink it and it is yours for as long as you like.

But that's the purpose of the Burning Blade !! It does not make sense to have it on Safer Seas where there are no other crews to try to sink a crewed Blade.
It's tied to reapers, and reapers as a PvP faction have no purpose on SS. That's why they got locked on SS in the first place.
For other players to challenge their might
There is high seas for that.

As an alternative perspective: I love fighting other players over events (as the game intends) but I really dislike doing the burning blade streaks. Please give me the streaks easily without the potential for contention. Also, I completed about half of the shores of gold tall tales but I don’t want to do the rest. Please give them to me without the potential for contention… oh wait that already is available.
Just play the game :)
I doubt there is a region/stamp where the BB is highly and even mildly contested as a pve event.
They've made it very unappealing both in reward and as something to captain. People are more likely to chase after the gifts than most of what the BB has to offer, outside of some super rare ritual stacker.
I wouldn't have an issue with a safer seas version of a bb tho. Lock most of the rewards for it, make it a tribute chest all the time for reward, obviously no emissary stuff. It would be good practice, it's pretty tough for some.
Would be funny to me if some safer seas player was out there fire blasting stuff. It's mostly irrelevant on high seas anyway.

What servers are you playing on? remains untouched 95% of the time for me
Most times I play there's people attacking it or running it. Seems really popular from what I see... I'm in Australia.
We also battle it when there's players on board a couple times a week at least.
We also sink it a lot for the loot, it's quick and easy when nobody is on board. Just for the sword, flame skull and other loot.
As for OP, Burning Blade should not be in SS. No enemy players to contest it.
I wanted to make an Australia joke reeeeaaaaly bad, but I'll restrain myself.
It seems Australian servers are pretty different from American ones, because a lot of the time I can find a BB that hasn't been touched for at least 15-20 minutes maybe.
That or once I take it over, we get a 4 or more streak and then some random crew pops up out of nowhere.

US: East Coast. I always see that BB sailing around and players dip off the server. It goes hours with nobody touching it. Only time it attacks other players, if they happen to be 'near' it :p
and players will spawn in, see it and switch servers.Well I'm playing Northwest (Alaska, but Canada at this point) so I guess we focus on different things here?
