once pi is set up its basically a bot like action esp in hisec, long on once in a while reset all timers and log off, eventually collect what was made.

But more importantly, isn't going after the lowest of the low hanging fruit, the laziest of lazy, and the most egregiously bad play still important? I mean, I think every competent Eve player recognizes how much safety CCP has given highsec players, and how little you have to do to essentially be perfectly safe. If players insist on falling below that bar, isn't it still important to have player-enforced consequences find them on occasion and remind them this is a competitive MMO? I am sure their competitors who do take the time and spend the effort to stay safe would think so.
Despite what you may think or CCP implies, highsec is still rife with bots mining in many systems, and AFK hauling is still a plague given how little risk there is to freighters and DSTs who keep their cargos within non-profitable to gank limits. The New Order still is the only opposition to these players. While Miniluv does a great public service enforcing consequences on the greedy, it is only the New Order of Highsec that at all allows Eve Online to pay lip service to the idea that you are at real risk everywhere.
I think that is still very beneficial to the game. Because it's harder to go after bots than the "low hanging fruit" (as you put it) and because I think they enjoy tears and salt way more than killing ships (and since bots don't give either...). You make it sound as though CODE and Miniluv are performing a community service when it's the exact opposite. They gank anyone (including and especially new players), and I've never (ever) heard of them reimbursing a new player's ship. So in actuality, they're probably driving more players from the game than they are attracting to it... Beneficial indeed...
this is true, I have seen them mess with new players in their ventures or those that just got a proc so they can mine their way into combat ships while training combat skills.
