I like the idea but Ryukyu doesn't actually have all that much need of kinetic weapons. Mostly due to the fact most their gauss weapons were based on astroid guns and still double as them to this day. Hell, they only have one actual military-minded gauss gun and that's on their only real military ship.

To them, selling gauss for kinetic would just mean giving up some form of environmental protection for a form of weaponry they don't really see the need for.
