In Dust you are either the hunter or the hunted.
Hunters run proto
The hunted cry.

Protostomping is bad for the game, new players will simply not stick around to get their asses beat down day in and day out.
I would suspect that people getting stomped actually break down the math on how long it would take them to attain a similar level of gear, and then quit.
Being forcibly slowed in your progression so that CCP can sell boosters forces players to decide very early on if they want to stay in the game or not.

The problem is that nobody wants to grind out this amount of SP against Stacked Squads of Vets with all Core Skills who run Proto 24/7.
Players want to play against other players who are relatively close to them in terms of SP and Gear. Players want to be in challenging, but still competitive matches, not be ROFL stomped every single time they play.
And the playerbase is not large enough to support that type of matchmaking.
This whole thread is misplaced, because it isn't actually about protostomping at all, but rather about how bad the matchmaking is.
Unfortunately, it won't be getting fixed anytime soon.

I agree with both this and your player base comment. There has to be some way to level the playing field though.
Why?
Why in the name of anything does the game have to be "fair" for people who want to just run crap gear?
A lot of the complaints about proto stompers are based around the fact that for whatever reason, the proto squad can afford to do it, while the other side can, or will not do the same.
In the former case, if due to SP, than it is a matchmaking issue, and needs to be remedied. Although how one does that given the limited player count is hard to figure out.
In the latter, F them. If you can't afford to run proto, play better, or join a PC landholder and show that you are good enough to earn a roster spot and a paycheck. If you can't sustain running proto because you die to much, and as such it is a massive ISK sink, then get better, get a squad, and stop dieing so much.
I wish more people would adopt a good attitude towards facing down good opposition instead of just crying all the time.
