There is some stuff about gates in the lore and background stories
besides toying with grav anomalies and wormholes, I vaguely remember something about the gates "spinning out" a nexus line along a gravity gradient etc. when they are activated which eventually connects This reaching out is, however, limited by light speed, so while offlining a gate can be done ( assuming you can collapse the wormhole in a controlled manner) reconnecting the gates would take...years
Which is not really a timespan you want to deal with in a game... Highsec isn't "Safe".-á Neither is it a playground for bullies and bottomfeeders. So stop complaining and start playing the game already. |

in the lore, most of the gates were built by the empires, hence the differences between the racial gates. The do know exactly how the gates work, the problem is in the difficulty in connecting the gates. iirc connecting the gates can take a very long time, so after shutting down the gates, it will take a rather long time to restart them, up to a few months or more.
to all the ppl saying the jove gifted the tech, the tech was actually reverse engineered from terran gates, the amarr got them first as they had a working (only one side) gate in their system. the caldari/gallente had to work off broken gates in their system, and the minmatar were working on acceleration gates. |

because if the gates could be shut down, you would be effectively invulnerable, able to rat with literally zero risk, build all; the supers you could ever want, and there would be nothing anyone could do about it? |

Regarding faction and gates:
They probably have means to travel from system to system without gates, or should, but not make it available to capsuleers.
Regarding Capsuleers:
'cause the gates aren't yours to close. (You didn't build them) |
