The same, I am sure, is happening here. CCP thinks that overall balance requires a nerf to dictor speed, and the fact that the small community of 0.0 alliance, and the even SMALLER community of dictor pilots doesn't like this nerf matters very little.

Rofl...
that "small community of 0.0 alliance" are THE ONLY ONES that use Interdictors. (They don't work in low sec or empire just in case you don't know.) All of them know how interdictors tick and that their only means of survival are speed.
The reason for that thou is a fundamental design flaw of the ships they are based of: Destroyers.
However, lately CCP Dev's tend not to look at the bigger picture at all. It seems more like they pick a random forum complaint about a ship or module and then "fix" it.
They are currently suffering from a serious mission shift syndrome that, if not countered, could cost them a very important part of their player base.
You're saying 0.0 dwellers are a minority in the game but do you realise that they are the heart and soul of the player driven economy CCP is so proud of? It's 0.0 where the majority of ISK flows to. It's 0.0 where the high end ores come from. It's the major power blocks who run production and invention at large scale to fund their operations.
At the moment all that CCP is doing is impairing 0.0 game play. Changed module sizes to "fix" mineral compression, nerf of carrier hauling capabilities to force people into using a T2 ship that noone wanted, proposed nerfs to fighter deployment of carriers... the list goes on.
If you're so familiar with game development, then could you pretty please tell me where CCP is heading? What kind of game do they want? What are their visions?
In the end, it's all about money. If they can make more money by turning Eve into Sim's 45,000AD then they'll do that and if they do it well, there will be people playing it.
It wont be the same game nor the same people playing it thou. And it wont happen for ballance reasons but for plain cold cash!
