They said 'Hey, people are earning SP too fast, let's slow it down!'
Thus was the daily cap born.
Nobody liked it. It was painfully restrictive and poorly done.
So CCP looked at it again. Unwilling to get rid of it, they called for a vote. A daily cap, a weekly cap? Should there be rollover? How restrictive should it be?
Weekly with rollover, people cried out. Nobody wanted the draconian restrictions. They wanted a softer cap.
So CCP made the cap weekly, and said rollover would come Soon(TM).
It was still a paltry cap, but it was better than previously and people carried on hoping rollover would come soon. The cap became a little nicer as well - instead of cutting you back to 50 SP a match, it let you earn an entire thousand! But the rollover was slow in coming.
Months passed, and Uprising came. SP sinks increased literally fivefold. The pointless basic frame skillwall was introduced. Engineering and electronics had their skill multipliers skyrocketed. It used to cost 600k for a newbie to max them and start being able to fit properly. Suit skill multipliers shot through the roof so far they entered orbit, although this was later reverted.
But still we had that 180k weekly cap. Rollover had failed to materialise. There was silence on the subject for a few months until a dev eventually asked wtf we were talking about and said there were no plans for it.
And here we are now, years on, with that very same cap that was once called a temporary measure.
Confirming this to be quite accurate depiction of history.

Can we please have people who want this to post in this thread saying "yarrrrrg" or something similar to "sign up" and express they are interested in raising the weekly bonus SP? I'll probably get this thread moved to "Features and Ideas Discussion" once I get in the office, notify people who have to be notified about such things, and see if I can swing something. No promises on the outcome, but I'll do my usual poking around.
NO
As if current cap is good where it is, until proper roll-over system is introduced (soonTm)

Helping newbros would be good, but that's an another question than GM Archdukes. As is removing the cap altogether (facepalm). As is rollover systems details.
He specifically asked for 'who wants cap increased'.

If CCP would buff the weekly cap,
in the very following week after,
we/you all would be asking for more. It's a basic saddening trait of humanity, to be always greedy.

That is just the correct amount - because of existence of people who play dust 24/7.

If this thread was used as heavy factor for decision, then I criticize it.
If there was a thread asking 'DO YOU WANT INSTAGIB RIFLES'
There would be several pages of 'yup'.
There are many possible suggestions like poisonous cakes with sugary top.
For example, "do you want to unlock everything" and "do you want unlimited isk and AUR".
