But think about that for a moment, as it also means.... you admit that a large section of the EVE population wants to carebear, given the chance (yes, let that reality sink in for a moment). Moreover, your loud protestations are nothing more than mere manifestations of your fear that people will do so, en masse. And that, manfriend, is why carebearing should always be allowed: because of your self-proclaimed confirmation of the need for it.
I may be wrong, because I am so new, but here is my reason why it is a concern with Eve...
Every aspect of Eve is PvP (excluding possibily mission runners). That means that every action is in competition with the other players. That is why carebears are a problem, they want safety to try to compete without risk; while the null/low sec crowd take risk to compete. Essentially, that is unfair to the null/low sec players. The counters to this are:
1. Null/low sec offer higher rewards for the risk invovled.
2. High sec is still on the table for ganking/forcing losses on other players, but with consequences. Essentially, this adds some risk to carebears.
See in theory it works out. In actuality, it seems like High sec carebears do get the pointy end of the stick though, because null sec alliances seem to have the money making down, and from what I've read, it is safer to be in nullsec (if you are part of the alliance) then in high sec...lol...but the best part, this is not a problem with the mechanics, it is the result of the nullsec players creating that environment for themselves, and the carebears not being ambitious enough to do something about it.
