It's an understandable thing to be mad about, but everything you're mentioning happened in like 2006/2007 and CCP did a pretty good job of preventing it again.
Furthermore that era of history was one of the healthiest when it came to organic, continuous content. It was only when the nullsec blocs started going ham on rental empires that the issues started really popping up, as it was suddenly very incentivized to protect every inch of space so you could print infinite ISK so you could buy more supercapitals so you could expand to more space to print more ISK, etc. Call it an inherent contradiction of game mechanics if we want to be Marxist about it, but it was doomed to result in static crabbing, which it did.
