You misunderstand what T2 BPOs are today and the function they fulfill.
Bear in mind the vast majority of people who have the BPOs in production right now bought those BPOs. In this regard you are in exactly the same situation as they are.
T2 BPOs can be broken down into two types:
BPOs where invention is viable -> Go ahead and invent here if you are interested
BPOs where invention is not viable -> Avoid inventing these items
In either case, the RoI of these BPOs is measured in years (plural) profit is not the primary consideration when acquiring and using a T2 BPO.
It's more a question of manufacturing end game - if you are successful enough and rich enough you'll be able to afford these when they next come out on the market. In this regard T2 BPOs fulfill their role perfectly. It is right that you should want to get them. Greed is good  Now just have to work to make a few billion iskies to make it happen.
Frankly the way the T2 BPOs were introduced into the game at this point is completely irrelevant. It was daft and unfair yes, but it doesn't matter. If they had been introduced via a public auction the situation would still be the same today.
They exist and you have to deal with it. Though the situation in the past was random and seen as unfair (got lucky with invention? JACKPOT!) the situation today is driven essentially by market forces and is integral to the EVE experience.
Don't worry so much about what you don't have. Work with what you have and what you can do and PROFIT! |

Double post gives an opportunity for a TL;DR
T2 BPOs are limited, unique, expensive and unprofitable. They are the end game of fat-cat rich manufacturers. Doesn't matter how they got into the game what matters is how you make a profit. Use your available resources and PROFIT

Too much negativity... how about if CCP Did issue a warning it would read something like this:
 WARNING 
You are about to enter the universe of EVE. As a capsuleer, you may grow to wield awesome power capable of unleashing cataclysmic events.
However, you are not alone in the universe. There are others who have come before you, they have build up empires, plundered worlds, cut swathes of destruction in their way and build up huge industrial complexes in the heart of hostile territory, or learned to push the market forces of entire galaxies in their favour. In so doing they have amassed fortunes beyond reckoning and gathered rare and unique artefacts and knowledge which gives them the power which they now sit on.
Are you strong enough to compete? Know that while you can achieve some measure of success on your own, sooner or later you will come into conflict with your fellows. The fastest path to power is the one in which you steal, buy or destroy the power base of your competitors, and only in this way will you gain some of the power that the ones which have come before you have amassed.
And when you reach the pinnacle of your power, you can rest in the knowledge that right behind you, another generation of power hungry capsuleers is rising... and that they are coveting your wealth with a greed and cunning which may turn out to match your own.
Welcome Capsuleer... and know that once you fly past this point, you will never turn back.
You Have Been Warned.

You keep saying this Velicitia... care to quote your source? I recall seeing a different amount in the past which I cannot quite find at the moment.
