They hurt the game, they are contrary to the core tenet that your decisions matter, and the more they give them, the more people will start whining for them every patch. Don't even get me started on the idea of pay-to-win respecs, I might have a stroke.
But...
If 1.8 (or 2.0, might be more representative) actually does pull in all these new bonuses, and all the new suits, at least a dropsuit tree respec is in order. Full respec? I dunno, I mean I don't see why people need to make major changes to their core upgrades, those help everyone.
Why this and not a respec of weapons with the new sidearms and the recent 2 new rifles? Well, weapons are actually the least of all of the SP sinks in the game, I mean, everyone got the new rifles to proto in like a week. Takes a lot longer than that for a suit.
Choices do matter, but not if CCP forced you to make a false one because they released an incomplete game. If all I had right now was a minmatar heavy I would not be happy about it, I'd want to get that dirty duct tape covered women's self defense class target suit off me 5 minutes after the new one was released.
With all the suits out, it's almost like actually being out of beta. A fresh start for people using gear they were forced to use, not chose because it was OP, is quite fair.
TL;DR I hate respecs but with the massive dropsuit changes apparently coming out, it's time for at least a partial one. Discuss.
I agree with you to an extent. Your decisions should matter, but keep two things in mind:
1. DUST is not new player friendly. 2. With each update they buff something only to nerf it next month.
When I first started playing this game I had no idea what I was doing, about the different roles, etc. Frankly, I didn't even know you could squad with other people until later on. I was also at a complete loss as to how the sky just randomly starts falling in someone's name. As a result, I made many mistakes skilling into different things not realizing how valuable my SP would be in the long run.
Also, when a person makes a choice it's supposed to be their choice. For example, if I skill into Mass Drivers because they're great and I enjoy using them it's not my fault when they've been nerfed. I would have been completely satisfied had CCP not changed my game up on me without giving me a choice in the matter. If you're going to continually do things like that, at least give me the option of taking my SP back and putting it into something else that is actually working.
In that, a respec is only fair.
Personally, a respec for me would make all the difference. My former noob ways continue to haunt me.

Cal/Gal Logis don't deserve a respec. You joke right ? They have the best buff ever maded to all logi EVER. 50% more range with repair tool means repair from 50 meters you can repair someone while being out of range of his weapon EASILY!!!!!!! 25% more repair rate means Traige repair tool : 120hp/s and focused : 200hp/s. More hp rate means more point and faster. Don't forget these values are PER LEVEL. While us Amarr were supposed to be the Combat engineer and....NO **** this we just set spawn and then hide somewhere nobody can see at what point we sucks with these bonus. The min logi was never intended to be a medic support character. The extra speed and hacking bonus was best for an infiltrator role. Many of us chose min logi because we wanted to do infiltrating in skirmish, not be a full time medic. I don't care how awesome the rep tool bonus is because I don't want to play a medic full time. A medic was always supposed to be a support role, CCP forgot what scoutz where for and still is scrambling to figure out what they are for. They definitely didn't really know what a logi was for on Uprising launch except to coloring assault suits yellow and giving them more equipment slots. The scout was always supposed to be the infiltrator..Get in provide recognizance, forward spawns, infiltration and the hard counter to the heavy. meh lets just give them cloaks that will make it all better.
The cloak of invisibility like from Harry Potter?!
I like where this is going...
