The drug changes are pretty much to force you to use Incarna if you want the new buffs.

Carbon = making the code re-usable as the foundation for WoD / Dust.

They're not going to give away too much of WoD or Dust. It's too early and those games will have their own marketing drive when the time comes.
It's more about convincing Eve players that a console shooter makes Eve better (since they're funding the development).

Yeah, Eve players expecting their Eve subscriptions to include some Eve improvements rather than a bunch of fluff relating to a console game.
How dare they.

You have to keep in mind that, with Carbon and walking in stations, they're basically adding an entirely new game to an existing one.
No, they're not. Incarna is fluff / re-use of the tech they're developing for WoD (eg. character models). They've never announced adding substantial *gameplay* with it. If they were adding FPS gameplay into the stations, and the space-game was healthy and balanced (it's not) I'd be a lot more positive about that.

They are not going to let us shoot at Dust players. Can you imagine the sales pitch?
Dust player: So, I was having a match when suddenly something called a "doomsday" killed everyone and ended the match.
CCP: Yep, that happens.
Dust player: Anything I can do to stop it? It's not much fun.
CCP: You can shoot your silly little machine gun at the orbiting Titan if you want.
Dust player: Will that help?
CCP: <snort> no.
I can see that would sell *really* well.

Haven't double-checked this, but I thought they said that boosters "wouldn't be on the market in high-sec" and so would require you to walk around.
I don't think they'll be on the market at all. If you can get a useful buff only by walking into the barbie-palace and buying it they can claim the content is "popular". Whereas if Incarna gave you neither game-play nor Eve benefit it would largely be deserted soon after launch.
This is pretty common. Fallen Earth (which had really good social spaces) gave you an XP buff for going AFK in the bars, SWG wounds required you to AFK in the bar. This is the Eve "bribe" to make Incarna required gameplay.
