No, it's just easy.

One of the major flaws of SH4 has always been the ease with which one can infiltrate a major enemy naval base. It doesn't seem to matter the nationality of the base. For instance, there was a 45 foot deep anti-submarine net at the entrance to Pearl harbor, but I notice you didn't mention one. There were minefields planted outside the harbor entrance, but you didn't run into those either. There were Kingfisher patrol planes that ran continuous anti-submarine patrols over the area too after the Japanese attack, but not in the sim. Add to that the fact that one never has to fight coastal tides or currents in the game since they are not simulated. Last of all, there is never much of a furious reaction from local forces after seeing capital ships blow up an anchor. The harbor just carries on as before.

So why not harbor raid?
