I'd like to buy one, but people telling they cost like 120 billion 
It makes no sense to me that they are in the variation info of a normal raven - but not obtainable. Why create a new ship and then make only a few of them ingame, create concupiscence but not give a realistic chance to satisfy it ?
It can't be a matter of protection of confidence of the old owners. Winners of other alliance tournaments didn't get 120-80 billion prizes aswell but only some PLEX worth a few billions. If the price comes down from this ludicrous 12 digit numbers and people can buy it at the price of a mothership, this wouldn't obsolete the other raven hull ships.
Same counts for the other 3 races empire/republich/federation battleships.
You can buy one though, you just have to pay 120b+ or whatever the seller is willing to accept.

If they were made more common they'd have to be rebalanced.
If they were rebalanced people, or even if they became more commonplace, they would be less appealing.
I really don't see how it affects you not having one. You're never going to see them flying around, their value negates any use in PvE or PvP so it's somewhat academic how much faster they would be for missions, or how they would fare in PvP.
They are collectors items, and 120b+ is what they cost. That's the bottom line.

You're forgetting one important point.
Their value is player-derived. CCP have never specified a value for them because they were gifts. They don't even have a base value you can ascertain from the bill of materials x time/effort required to build.
The ship is only "worth" 120b+ because that's what the players believe based on aggregate wealth that exists in the game. 120b, frankly, is just an arbitrary number - the ships are to all intents and purposes priceless.
That being said - as already stated - if 120b is the price, then if you aren't prepared to pay that then that's tough luck. That is (at least) how much they cost, if you can't afford that or aren't willing to pay it - well move along please.
Your problem is one of a entitlement mentality. You are not entitled to everything that has ever existed in the game, no matter how hard you work at it. You just need to accept that there are items in the game, like these ships, that either no longer spawn at all or were one-off prizes.
