I can imagine the posts... "Aero/Soandso said I'd get a respec!"
Dren and Templar equipment stats, wrong since release.

Haha... I actually agree with you. I think it's likely given that suit stats/bonuses/slots are all changing that some sort of respec would be very appropriate (even if it's dropsuit command/upgrades only). It's just that occasionally CCP doesn't appear to follow the most reasonable course of action.
A second option would be that they save the respec for some other point in the near future, like after pilot suits and a couple of other weapons are released or something. In that case, people would have to suck up dealing with changed stats and no respec for another couple months until that stuff is released.
It depends on what you think the rationale is for respecs. Content finally complete? Huge changes? Intermittent additions like the two rifles weren't enough to warrant any weapon respec. Changes to the Caldari or Amarr Logistics alone weren't enough to warrant a respec for anyone. The vehicle tree was sort of completely removed, which probably made respecs the easier option on their end.
If they wanted to wait till "all" suits are implemented, then we might have a case where waiting till they release the pilot would make more sense. All weapons would be even further into the future, as we have no mention of release for the missing heavy weapons, and there's still a lot of infantry weapon variety with gaps.
I'd say enough is "changing" to warrant a respec, in the sense that changes to bonuses, stats, and slots mean that many people will have suits with no resemblance to what they skilled into whatsoever. If a suit has different eHP, a different slot layout, and different bonuses than when you chose it, then how do they justify forcing you to keep that choice? In what way is it the same suit aside from the name? Of course, the changes to the Caldari logi were "that" to some people. Still, it seems reasonable.
