It obviously proved not to be needed.
The truth is probably that CONCORD insurance-voiding would only have stopped 5-10% of suicide ganks and reduced average ganker profits by 10-15%, raising the bar slightly and making no difference to people who lose multi-billion-ISK ships. They'd keep losing those expensive ships, and they'd continue to whine for more suicide gank changes.
Also, removing insurance when CONCORDOKKENED would make it too expensive to gank macro Hulks. That ALONE is a reason not to go forward with this change.

If CCP got rid of insurance subsidies for the high-sec gankers, CCP would have to implement some other game mechanic to make these ganks as cost-effective as they currently are.
Why would they have to? Genuinely curious here. I know very little about suicide ganking except that people say it's "insanely profitable". Unless this is a myth, it actually favors a reduction in cost-effectiveness.
Again, genuinely curious. Not taking sides, not attacking you, etc.

There should be risk in empire to force haulers to choose between expanders or hardeners, for example.
Not disagreeing with your overall point here, but you'd have to fit Jesus Christ Himself onto a T1 hauler to save it from even a half-hearted suicide gank. 
Definitely comes into play with T2s, though.

Ahh yes, the mythical macro Hulks.
I think these fabled beasts exist in much smaller numbers than the fairy tales would have you believe.
I think you must be new here. Welcome to EVE, how are you enjoying the game thus far?

Hulkageddon is in fact an initiative masterminded by the owners of Hulk BPOs, using macro miners as a convenient and believable scapegoat.
