You're acting like we want a respec everytime they add something new or change something regardless of size. You realize people are only asking for a respec because of a) racial dropsuits finally getting added and b) suit bonuses getting dramatically changed.
Maybe we'll have a small FOTM problem at the start, but that's something you just have to deal with. And from here, I mean, it doesn't really look like they can add any more core suits if they have all the racial light, mediums, and heavies and I doubt CCP is going to completely overall the suit bonuses again so from that perspective there would never have to be another respec again. But you can't just say "No respecs because FOTM" even if the respec is absolutely 100% warranted.

So did I. I was fully aware (as all intelligent players should be) that the game is subject to change. And I'm not entitled to a do-over every time it does. Every time a weapon is nerfed, we don't get a refund either. Even though flaylock pistols and swarm launchers are now both a comedic joke and probably no longer count as real guns.
The game will always be changing. You may want to revisit an old suit later, or you might not, but you used those skill points, and every time we respec, we reward players for doing the fit-of-the-month mob behavior which makes this game terrible to play. FOTM is a hard behavior to kill, but without respecs, it is, at least, appropriately costly.
Your examples are bad. If a weapon gets nerfed, it is still serves the same function, just not as well. The flaylock still has high direct damage and some splash damage, just not as much. It still serves the same role as it did before. Meanwhile, the Minmatar logistics role used to be extra fast hacking, but now it's role is repair tool efficiency. That is completely different.
Now if the Minmatar Logistics skill bonus got changed to 2% hacking speed per level instead of 5% hacking speed per level, then your analogy would be appropriate and you would be right that a respec is not warranted. However, that is not the case.
