It's more or less taught, where I come from, that the Jove gave the capsule to us because they're not interested in seeing the balance of power disturbed and it was the best way to allow the Caldari Navy to hold it's own in decidedly asymmetrical engagements with the Federal Navy.

Keyword there I suppose is was, seeing as all nations have the capsule now. Fortunately, capsuleers from the State remain extremely capable operators. If the original intent was to establish a balance of power, the last few years of stalemated warfare have arguably shown that the capsule has created just such a balance.
Indeed, definitely a past-tense issue. The pod basically gave us the breathing room we needed to create the full infrastructure and industry of a nation state. I'm pretty sure we'd have been conventionally defeated without it.
You'll notice that once the balance of power tipped too far in our favour, the pod mysteriously spread to every other power in New Eden, though.
