T2 BPO's will go away naturally when the owners of them quit, or gets banned because its a fairly common cycle for people to find an exploit, buy up t2 bpos with illegal profits, then get banned for said exploit, eliminating their bought BPO's from the pool.
This is really just the have-nots going against the haves, it's simple jealously and a complete misunderstanding of the market. I didn't have T2 BPO's either, I saved ISK and I bought my T2 BPO's after sweet talking the owners out of them dangling billions of ISK in their faces.
The primary reason for removing the T2 BPO's is the illusion that it will increase the profit margin of invention, it won't, because many inventards (as I call them), sell their wares at LOSS and have to keep buying PLEX's to even stay in business. If you want invention to be profitable you need to add more risk to invention, and make inventing POS only, or even low-sec POS only if you want to go to the extreme.
People say that there is no risk in owning T2 BPO's, while there isn't as much risk owning a T2 BPO, that risk was offloaded to saving the required 10 to 100 billion ISK to buy the BPO, the less risk they took, the longer it took them to earn that ISK.
I would support making all T2 production pos only (BPO's can stay in stations though, the cost production runs on T2 BPO's are usually in the billions and are enough risk), and invention low-sec pos only. The profit margins for everybody would rise, inventors could go to war with entities that own T2 BPO's and blow up their POS's, inventors can hire mercs to go blow up other low-sec inventors, and the T2 BPO owners can repay the favor.
Resulting in more stuff getting blown up which benefits all production profiteers.
Instead, we have station camping 100% safe production, so of course it's going to drive profits down because pretty much every product made ends up on the market, there isn't much of an opportunity for a competitor to intercept it.
The issue I have with this is that it would increase significantly the capital necessary to begin as an inventor.
