These are facts, plain and simple.

Good thing they don't have that then, isn't it?

These are facts, plain and simple. Opinions, plain and simple. Opinions? Of course fool, I'm not a dev or gm.... Anything useful now? I'm thinking.......hmmm. NOT 
As useful as it deserved, and more useful than your OP because it was based on objective reality.
Next?

The fact that you can sit down in high sec and instantly start grinding out missions or jump into an incursion fleet means it is unrealistic to measure the value of the PvE in pure ISK per hour. The only "balanced" part of the game I can think of in this respect is currently exploration.
Exploration follows a pretty nice curve in terms of difficulty, resources required etc. from high to low. And it also has pretty well balanced rewards.
Missions, anoms and mining however are pretty borked in terms of risk/reward. Hopefully CCP will finish addressing the mining side of this with ring mining, they made a pretty good start on it with the drone poo nerf.
Hi-Sec will *always* (as long as anything even remotely resembling current mechanics are in effect) be more conducive to the type of play you describe than low or null.
Exactly because it isn't entertaining enough to interrupt to any great degree all the "alts" at their business.
Even if / when the rewards get lowered "enough" (in hi-sec) there will still be people for whom null-sec/low-sec won't be attractive at all. So I predict that those people (and it is an unknown number) will play less and less until they quit while some (small) number will move somewhere else. I say "small" because if they wanted to be in low/null, they would be.
So income in hi-sec will almost (imho) always appear "too high" because time wasted in CTA's, associated losses or rent ( and only rent is actually quantifiable) will be prohibitive (or appear prohibitive) to a lot of people.
