CCP t0rfiFrans has made it pretty clear that they don't want to do FPS stuff in ambulation.
The excuses have been... somewhat lame imo. To me, they don't sound like the real reason they won't be doing it. I think they decided right off the bat that There Shall Be NO Pew-Pew In MY Eve Ambulation and just came up with the "spoon in the eye" and "oh noes! clone problems!" stuff as their public out.
Fine. Whatever.
Only problem I have with that is it seems somewhat anti-Eve in theme. I can go set up my Lipo-suction Leather Chaps Boutique and make the Phat ISKs while doing it and... what's my risk?
I know. Traders do it now. Scammers do it now. Sit in their stations making isk without a care in the MMO.
Doesn't make it "Eve right" though.

Not really, think of it in terms of prime fiction
Fiction being the operative word.
And you can mold that any which way you like. For example,
"You are hardwired into your pod, so forget about actually getting out of it. What you see as yourself walking around a station is just a representation of you. A hologram. Another clone. An automaton of some sort. Doesn't really matter. Skill loss problem solved. Death by spoon solved". Yadda yadda.
Doesn't matter why? Because it's fiction.
So it sounds a bit cheesey to me to justify the why nots with anything to do with the prime fiction. If they don't want to do it because it doesn't suit Eve, that's fine. Say it as such.
But that wasn't even my main point. My main concern was yet another riskless isk earner.
And if you really want to go down the "I'm a friggen demi-god" route why is it you are impervious to us other demi-gods just because you are hanging out in your Shiney Plastic Pants shop in the Jita 4-4 lingerie department?

Won't really earn any more than the current breed of station traders. Same thing, different venue. I, for one, look forward to meeting my opponent in a bar and having a recap of our latest battle over tea and scones. Who says we can't be civilized while we murder each other in our spaceships?
I refer you to my first post

And I'm not buying into the, "well there's already this kind of crappy stuff going so let's throw more of it in" line of reasoning. Not just so we can have tea and scones with our nemesis and have our virtual eyebrows plucked. Hell, if anything Ambulation could have been a way to get to those people who previously lived solely in stations, always untouchable.
But they aren't going that route. They're apparently making more of the same kind of lame riskless stuff. Which flies more in the face of what the Eve theme has always been. Far more so than what some ignominious end to the "Great and Powerful" pod pilot might insult the established fiction.

but the "We don't think it suits eve, so we aren't putting it in" has been uttered.
Link?
