If we would take a look at the Chinese EVE server, wouldn't we have a picture?
Which leads to the question : Why do the China-ISk-Spammer still have access to the Western server ? 
Back on topic :
Conquering 0.0 is something which possibly might happen. However chances are not too good, that such an endeavor will succeed.
Personally, i can't imagine a Meta-Aliance with the manpower necessary, to last very long. It would take alot of like-minded CEOs, backed up by each corp member with the same and sole interest in conquering 0.0.
If the past has taught us anything it is, that the larger an Alliance or Corporation is, the more it loses its edge(s). Compare that to a sword : You can sharpen it only to a certain degreee, when you cross the limit, the blade becomes edgy and not balanced anymore.
Make the sword to big or heavy and you need more than 2 hands to control it. The results won't be too good.
-------------------
Is it worth conquering 0.0 ?
That depends entirely on what each individuals goal is in the game. Some people collect isk, some assets, some POSes. Maybe someone wants to collect solar systems he controls.
In this question lies the answer to the first question you asked, because you will need alot of people who have the same goal, thus making it worth for them - controlling as much space as possible.
-------------------
What would be the consequences ?
Lets assume, some Alliance had conquered 0.0 and is largely in control of it. What would happen ? First, the most hardcore-pvpers would split due to an increasingly lack of targets. Second, they would band together to do, what they do best - shoot at targets, where there are lots of targets aka the conquered 0.0, their former allies.
Third, most likely this process will encourage others to do likewise and the whole "0.0-Empire" will slowly start to crumble.
In the end, nothing really new here. In RL, there is a name for it : Evolution.
