I really don't see the problem here tbh.
Some people play this game with the goal of (just a few examples):
* Making hoards of money.
* Having fun with small scale PVP.
* Having fun with larger scale PVP.
* Fighting on an alliance scale.
* Building an empire.
Why should anyone feel ashamed for choosing a playstyle that doesn't involve vast empire building? Why should they feel ashamed for forming a symbiotic relationship with other entities that facilitate their playstyle?
Many of the people having a go at BOBs tennants, are on the map due to one thing, the empires allow it. That may come across arrogant, but realistically there are very few 0.0 entities capable of standing up to one of the superpowers. That leaves you with only a limited number of options, and most seem to choose deluding themselves.

bob has backstabbed its tennants on various occasions why should they not try to break the chains and claim the space they live in as there own?
its not like you apear to treat them very well from what i can gather
I have been a BoB tennant, prior to being IN BoB. I can honestly say that in the entire time I was in that position, there was barely any interaction with BoB at all. We shared intel, we fought next to them, but never did they make us feel anything but an ally.
As for "breaking the chains", there aren't any to break. These people work with us because it facilitates the way they want to play the game. If Curse Alliances goal is to become a 0.0 empire, best of luck. But treating people who don't have the same goals as you as slaves or pets is ridiculous.

Its a very simple concept and tbh there isnt a lot to argue about.
One is par for the course in EVE politics i.e NAPs of convenience, everybody has to at one stage or another.. the other is simply relying on somebody else firepower so that you don't have to fight for the place you live.
Two very different situations.
For a very simple concept, you seem to have an unusual view on it yourself.
Do you think that the smaller "allies" of D2, would have any reliance on them if a large scale war threatened to wipe them out?
Do you think that in the BoB model, we mobilise to fight on behalf of our tennants in every war they fight?
