It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. CCP develops their single-universe PvP how they choose. Sure, they seek input and direction from the community of players, but it is the company who is responsible for the game design decisions and it is their employees and shareholders whose livelihoods and assets depend on it's continued success. There is not some small cabal of players in some dark room pulling the strings and making CCP make decisions and take directions that it does not want to do.
Feel free to invent conspiracy theories and direct your anger against other players for the fact the product is something else than what you personally want, but it is CCP who should be the target of your discontent. It was CCP who set out to design a full-time, competitive PvP sandbox game so many years ago. It is CCP is continues to follow that vision and make an everyone vs. everyone game where nowhere is safe, and the whole world can be considered a PvP zone. Besides, from all accounts it seems that it is the players begging for CCP to rework their PvP sandbox into a theme-park game for them that are in the minority.

Highsec is very safe: it is almost impossible to die in highsec if you take any active steps to protect yourself. Lowesec is much riskier, but there is still some protection from certain weapons, and punishment for illegal acts, and there is space where there is none of that. Players can choose where they want to play.
It's true there is no safesec, but there never was intended to be in New Eden. I don't see how you have contrived a history of Eve where a "small, vocal group of players" got safesec removed from the game or something.

You may as well say, "just don't log in" which leads to, "just quit". No it can't really. A "safe space* and a full-time, open world PvP sandbox are indeed mutually exclusive. You can't give a safe, useful space in this type of game without it being overrun by veteran players looking to make an invulnerable income source depriving the game of conflict and content.
I suggest you leave the game design to the professionals and just worry about finding a game that suits your wants and needs, instead of agitating for game developers to toss out their vision and tailor their game specifically to you. That might mean that Eve Online is not for you, like it is not the game for the majority of gamers out there. There is no shame in that - different strokes for different folks and all that.
