Well, considering there is not going to be a secondary economy to wreck as a result of BPOs in Dust and all. Besides, the BPOs are not too powerful anyways and you can still get the ISK equivalents (consumable of course) which will clearly become more affordable to the new player with the incoming sell-back-to-NPC feature.
Respecs? Well... I've been against them primarily because I grew up with the mentality that players should learn to make do with what they got despite the changes made to them. But that's just me.

Those basic BPO's don't make a difference in combat, and those respecs aren't going to buy skill for going into FoTM gear if that's what you're worried about. Most of the vets have more than enough SP unallocated to spec into whatever they want anyways, those are the ones you've actually got to worry about.
So, CCP is actually making some money on Dust, so what? They are a company, their goal isn't to give out free stuff, it's to make money, and if the majority of the fanbase is happy with that and aren't forced to buy anything, what's the problem? Maybe we'll actually see some real improvements in the coming months to Dust now that CCP realizes there's still potential seen in this game by the consumers.
Despite that I don't like respecs, I have to agree with you here.
First and foremost, CCP is a company. They need to make money to support development of Dust, Legion, Eve Online, and Valkyrie. If BPOs and boosters have proven to be a real money maker for CCP, then so be it. If respecs become a success as well in addition to the incoming Market Agent, more power to them which equals more resources for Dust and possibly Legion. Besides, I'm looking forward to Legion more than Dust and I will support CCP by purchasing AUR through Dust and via subscriptions for Eve Online.
And you are correct to assume that there are a growing number of vets who are just dogpiling their unallocated SP for whenever the next shiny comes around and I also agree that SP alone doesn't equate to player experience.
