Let's see.
1. Eve Vegas was originally a player-run event. It still is a player-run event only with CCP more involved.
2. Eve Vegas often features Fleet Commanders, Directors, and other key players from the infamous Goonswarm Federation doing a lot of the talking.
3. Eve Vegas never listed Dust as part of the schedule that was released weeks, if not a month, prior to the event starting.
So no. I'm not surprised that Dust was never mentioned at Eve Vegas. It's Eve Fanfest 2015 you need to focus on.

What made you think there would be something at EVE Vegas?
They did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_GRjNL7l40
At least 6 minutes into the presentation.

There's really no reason for anyone to have expected anything at EVE Vegas specifically. It's also partially a player-run event, so a really big announcement wouldn't really be done there more than likely anyways. The thread exists precisely because there wasn't anything on the agenda. I know this is not an officially sponsored event but last year there were computers setup to play dust and there were none this year. No mention of patches alpha, bravo, charlie whatever or even the upcoming update, though every awesome poster showed a dust mercenary next to an eve and valkerie pilot.
That still doesn't mean we should be surprised. Again, it's Fanfest you need to focus on if you want big news on Dust or Legion.

That said, how can a person not see the error in not taking advantage of such an opportunity to market one of their products? What if 50 people decided to create a Dust account just to get the head start on their Legion character? That would be good right?
Considering Eve Vegas has a heavy Goon presence, I'm not sure about that.

Considering Eve Vegas has a heavy Goon presence, I'm not sure about that. Okay, imagine the boost in hope and confidence of the existing Dust community. There is a long, long list of reasons why it would have been good and I haven't seen a remotely decent reason why they shouldn't have. If Legion doesn't happen CCP isn't going to be negatively effected if they talk about it now. The damage will be done. Dust will be dead and Legion won't be a thing. There is literally ZERO to gain by treating Legion like the Manhattan Project. Eve Vegas would have been the best possible arena to open up their communication about Legion. Announcing 1.9 will be a huge shot in the arm for CCP. If they would also provide some hope for Legion perhaps more players would open their wallets in support of Dust. Am I starting to get my point across?
I see what you mean.
But I still don't see a point in being surprised that Eve Vegas didn't have anything to announce at all on Dust/Legion when everyone already knew in advance that such a topic was not coming up during this year's Eve Vegas.
PS: Don't forget that a large number of Eve Online players don't care at all for Dust or Legion. In fact, I have seen a few players even hope for CCP to stop making FPS games and get back to internet spaceships.
