Way to miss the point.
The giving away of unique ships IS an issue, but it's not even the main issue.
YOU ARE GIVING A FOR-PROFIT GROUP HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS(now possibly TRILLIONS) OF ISK WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
Edit:
I would like to run a promotion, you can send me one (1) coupon good for an all expenses paid trip to fanfest, I promise my winning of my own lottery will be entirely fair and well accounted for. |

Secretly spawning t2 bpos for BoB vs. Officially giving Somer blink items
Telling people you're doing it doesn't make it any different. |

Why not skip the unreliable for-profit middleman and give them away as tournament prizes? |

CCP believes they have been trustworthy in the past. You'll notice there is nothing in the words to suggest any sort of agreement that somer needs to be fair, or needs to donate all of the proceeds to the tournament. Merely a suggestion that because they've been apparently fair in the past they might continue to be in the future.
From what we know, somer can do anything they want with the prizes and lottery proceeds that they want. This is EVE Online. We all know what happens next.

All the other unique ships have a story around them like tournament prizes or really special events. These new ships will always be just some crap you could win on an out of game lottery.
Worse, they will forever be a symbol of CCP favoritism and an already rich in-game service being given a massive pile of isk with no accountability whatsoever.
