Agreed, specifically why the British invaded in WWII as well. However the ability to roam the Indian ocean without challenge would have meant a massive curtailment of anything via the Seuz and then has to come via a narrow corridor after rounding the cape. easy pickings for subs.
The only reason the Japanese were not more active was that Midway and Guadalcanal sucked their resources dry.
