There isn't a single "launch ramp", that opening you're coming out of is analogous to the mouth of a naval port. EVE, like most spacefaring games, is based around naval analogies, not airplane analogies.
The San Francisco bay (to use a random example) can handle way the hell more than 30 boats in/out in a minute. The docking/undocking time isn't you taxiing to the runway, it's the port's tugboat (guide drones) pulling you out far enough that you have room to maneuver. By the time you've loaded in, you're very far from your launch point already, in clear space.
If you really want an airplane analogy, the runway is from your docking point, the end of the actual external ramp is the equivalent of circling at several thousand feet -- again, something that airports have 20-30 planes doing simultaneously pretty often.

It's called insta-undock bookmark. Lets you enter warp instantly when undocking. Make one from 4-4 station and use it.

i think it's fine the way it is, but imagine of there were several launch tubes and it shot people out in sequence

This is a great idea. A rotating station would screw everyone's insta undocks, and would add a bit of flavor to camping undocks.

When you're leaving 4-4 there is a planet and station directly before you. You can use that to warp away within seconds even with a freighter.
As for the proposal I'd say that's honestly nuts. That kind of cosmetic change doesn't really help anyone and definitely would cost a LOT of developer time. Remember when they wouldn't change the naglfar slot layout because it would like take a year to adjust the model? Yeah...
Not to mention even with 12 ramps at some point you'll be back and say "hell so many ships leaving through only 12 ramps? REALLY?"

In eve all the launched ships originate from a single point and then deviate slightly, that would be like the mouth of your naval port being so narrow as to allow only one ship at a time to through it when leaving port. If you are comparing a station to a naval port then multiple ships should be able to launch at the same time on parallel vectors,
Which is exactly what I was saying in the first place

Don't forget these two things:
1) your undocking heading varies by up to 15 degrees. If you set up your insta undock poorly, your ship will have to turn up to 30 degrees which takes a loooonnnggg time in a hauler.
2) You see that cloud of freighters in front of the undocking ramp? They can REALLY mess up your day.

Whenyou're setting it up, stop and use the tactical display to set your course. That way you compensate for any variability when undocking. You'll be invulnerable when exiting, pop instantly into warp and pretty much be untargetable.
Works like a charm.

4-4 undock should work like gates.
When entering space you end up 15km from the station at a random location.

Even if you do set up your insta undock properly, you still have up to a 15 degree deviation that you are subject to. Most of the time you will warp off before you get targeted (presuming that you are smart enough not to initiate warp while you are colliding with another ship), but you might get unlucky.
Simply put, insta undocks HELP protect you, but they don't guarantee you safety 100% of the time. There is no such thing as safe space in EVE. Fortunately, though, Jita 4-4 is not a kick-out station, so you can simply redock if you get aggressed (presuming that you waited for your session timer to expire before attempting warp and that you didn't get insta popped)

I don't think it's that bad -- watch the Tyrannis trailer, those ramps are absolutely massive (IIRC, in the trailer, there are 2 or 3 Charons leaving the station in relative close proximity).
I know a couple of fat broads who would squish those Charons...

1. Buy shuttle.
2. Undock and warp to Jita 4.
3. Make a bookmark midway.
4. Return to Jita 4-4 and sell the shuttle.
5. Use your instant-undock bookmark with hauler.
Amarr (Oris) is a bit trickier: use your tactical overlay and turn-off everything but the station on your overview. Just follow the tactical line from the station downward until you are over 150 km away (preferably on the next grid).

What if stations were limited to the number of dock/undock operations per second? Or more importantly, a maximum volume of logged in ships docked at any time?
Thus a logistics station might have a high rate of ingress/egress, an assembly plant wouldnhave a larger maximum volume in the hangar, while an intelligence office would have the smallest of both. Jita4-4 is an assembly plant, so it would be able to handle a large volume of docked ships and market items...

Stupid examples from stupid people. These are hardly normal everyday occurences.
Jita 4-4 is launching 20-30 objects from a point source on random vectors 24 hrs a day. These objects are maybe on average 20 times the volume of a 747.
Hardly the same is it, stupid.

What is it with the military aircraft comparisons again? The undock is the mouth of the berthing area, traffic is flowing both ways. There is no military precision, no endless rehearsal, and all the craft have different sizes, speeds and maneuverability.
Comparison to the Berlin Airlift is better, since that involved the controlled launch and landing of hundreds of planes. The key being that air traffic/ground control was responsible for coordinating the arrivals and departures.
Jita is only as heavily trafficked as it is due to the infinite capacity of the dock system, hangars and market storage. Change any of those (preferably all) to add some more realism to the scifi simulator, and Jita 4-4 will have to spread.
