Because they both suffer from the same issue, lack of development time. Although the PvE argument is that the development that has been done has been a waste of time as it is not the PvE that the players want.
But, yeah the impression from the OP is that balance has not had the development time it was promised to have.
No no no ⌠facepalm
The new PvE with smart NPCs is much harder ⌠but the rewards are much worse ⌠and CCP makes the conclusion that players dont do the new content becuase they dont like hard PvE? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
We already have instance areas, just look at incursions, fobs, and Sotiyos. If your not part of the fleet and not part of a massive blob best bet youâll live for like 4 second tops.
Proper reward scaling is definitely an issue. The FOBs seem to have this problem as badly as the pirate Engineering Complexes do (200 people go out to hit the site, maybe 4 get rewarded? And the FOBs just scale that down a bit, near as I can tell).
Those arenât instances. Instances would be âif youâre not in the group, you donât go to the same place that group wentâ.
I know. It boggles my mind how there can be a âright choiceâ for an dynamic AI at all. Yes, they have to follow and work by certain parameters but that you can finish these shipyards with 4 titans is kid of ridiculous. But then again, it also makes sense when you take the rewards into account.
We donât need a fancy new AI. The old one fits its purpose just right. (Shoot them, kill them, loot them, profit). IMO we need more diversity. More different missions, sites, etc.
Why canât NullSec sites be modular. Just let every site have one or two acceleration-gates, so that afk players cant farm them indefinitely without getting to the next stage. Also every stage should be random, for example. First stage has 2 normal waves, the next one could be similar to a DED pocket / have scramblers and so on. That wouldnât be so hard to implement i think. One core mechanic for putting them together and then insert a pool with some parts of already existing sites. Done.
This could also work with missions. The goal of every mission could stay the same, but there should be a chance to âget off trackâ. Like an appearing problem, where you have to clear another spawn/pocket, collect some things to disarm sentrys, maneuver through a minefield or whatever to get âback on trackâ. This should be a option for getting extra ISK of course 
PvE should be fun to do, and not something where you need a bot, or be afk to stay awake.
PvE is the essential step of getting into PvP. Itâs also necessary to obtain money, to finance it. When you loose a ship, you shouldnât be frustrated because you have to grind twenty missions/sites which are all the same/kind of similar to get it back. Thats no fun, that sucks, but now itâs just like that, and thats the problem.
If PvE would make as much fun as PvP does, Iâm sure a lot more people would play/stay playing EvE.
There is one thing missing, and thats unpredictability. As soon as you can look every site up on the internet to see how it works, itâs no challenge anymore and then it starts to get boring.
TL;DR:
More diversity in missions / anomalies (whether Null/WH/High/LowSec)
Maybe a modular mission/site-system
Get rid of predictability in PvE
Thats just my two ISK
Thanks for reading my wall of text (or the TL;DR)

I wonder how much time will take CCP and CSM to get it. Whoever thought about rewards for RW, for example, had really no idea how risk vs rewards is.
Actually I believe it was a lot of PvP players saying that, most of the PvE players just wanted more missions added to the pool so they wouldnât constantly be offered the same 3 or 4 missions.
Now if I remember correctly the old Astrometric Agents would offer a variety of missions from encounters to hacking cans in static Cosmos sites.
For new missions how about adding Exploration Agents that offer missions to scan down various stuff, like scan down a specific W-hole, find and repair a crippled ship or drop off supplies to a Colony within that W-hole and then report back to Agent. Or scan down an object a few systems over and retrieve some Data Reports. The possibilities are endless without turning it into a corp fleet operation against an overpowered NPC AI.
Nope. You can put your anti-pvp pitchfork away. It was by a whole range of people, over several months.
Fundamentally as a company, CCP is going to make the decision on whether or not to work on a feature based on how successful it is. If no-one runs RW, itâs going to be hard for them to commit to iterating on it. Convincing the board of a company to throw good money (in dev time) into a project that didnât have the desired outcome is always going to be hard.
Yes, but more people arenât using RW because the rewards for RW arenât even close to in-line with the effort involved. Thatâs the problem there, Jin. Look, L1 RW sites are run in mining frigates, right? Literal day 1 alphas can run them (having a friend helps, but isnât necessary). Ok, and so you get some cash and some LP and some standing. The LP you get will cover the cost of items from the LP store pretty quick⌠but not when you add the ISK cost. L1s, maybe a couple of hours, youâve got enough LP for the jacket. Day 1.
But you donât have the 100,000,000 ISK. So why would you keep running the RW sites if running those sites wonât get you the stuff you want from the LP store?
Haha, I may have been a little MIA for the past 4 to 6 months but before that I was very active in the forums for a lot of years. I definitely donât remember players asking for more advanced AI that required fleet action to complete. I do remember PvE players asking for more variety to the mission pools.
Then we agree, because thatâs exactly what I wrote above.
This doesnât need to be turned into a PVE v PVP player thread. Itâs about CCP and what theyâve done, or not, as a result of community feedback.
As for no one calling for fleet based PVE, hereâs one thread from last year for example, that calls for exactly that:
There were others also, as well as threads (here and on Reddit) asking for CCP to find ways to make PVE more PVP-like so players could more easily progress from PVE to PVP.
No, those were things players were asking for. CCP just screwed it up. Bad. Players asked for missions that rewarded you for doing them with groups instead of punish you. It makes sense⌠running missions in a group means you make less isk/hour, then youâre not going to do them in groups.
Players, mostly âexpertsâ, asked for PVE that used PVP fittings, so they could PVE in low/null without having to run from fights. 
Part of the failure of modern PVE, I think, is under-investment. Just like you wouldnât go to a half-built theater that didnât have its sound system installed yet, thereâs no point in doing the half-finished PVE CCP keeps adding.
The most hilarious thing is CCPâs âiteratingâ joke. You know, like when they say âoh, weâre going to introduce the framework and iterate on it laterâ. Or when CCP goes âweâre introducing a new iteration on this thing weâve added previouslyâ and change the color of a button. Good joke, isnât it. Funny.
Sorry bro, all I see is one person, the OP, asking for that content in the thread. And then Cade Windstalker posted there was already content available in game and as the OPâs idea was âiteratedâ upon, Cade gave very good reasons why it wouldnât work. I still stand by my statement of seeing PvE players mostly ask for more variety in the mission pool.
Anyway, this thread has gone off rails and needs to get back on topic. Iâm done.
Yes, itâs one thread. Isnât that what I wrote? No need to be sorry about seeing exactly the same thing.
There are other threads. That was just the first I saw in the search results. Go check it for yourself.
At least tiercide happened for the most part which explains the current state of all mining barges, exhumers, industrials, etc. Not sure about the pvp ships* though.
âif youâre not using x ship, youâre probably making the wrong decisionâ <-- this statement has never been more true.
What your pveing in null sec and your not using a vexor navy? whats wrong with you.
What your solo novice plexing and your not using a worm? whats wrong with you.
What you didnât warp into that large plex with your gurmur where they cant outrun out range or hold point against you? whats wrong with you.
A joke but itâs sad that these are sort of true.
Looking at recent assault frig changes on SISI and trying to find the logic goes something like this to me:
Problem: Assault frigs where out classed (damage and tank by T3Dâs) (Speed and utlilty by pirate frigs)
The chosen solution: Making a module that makes high damage AFâs even better than Other AFâs.
Instead of giving AFâs something really unique like +25% roll bonus web resistance or +50% capacitor, giving them more control in fights.
The best AFâs before:
Hawk
Harpy
Enyo
What do all these have in common to make a good AF (Damage), what where these missing to make them better speed.
What where the worst assualt frig before:
Jaguar - Why, because its damage was horrible, It couldnât kill things fast enough before it got jumped by other ships.
What was the solution to fixing the Jaguar: by lowering its DPS, giving it CPU problems and increasing its speed less than the rest. (I really donât see how these changes make the jaguar competitive with other assault frigs? try 1v1 jag vs hawk and tell me you can beat that hawk.)
Result Assualt frigs in general are buffed, but jaguar has become worse than it was falling even further behind compared to all other assault frigs. Iâd love to see patch notes with reasoning because I really donât see the logic it seems all balancing is now based more on lore than logic 
Existing purposes? None exist. As for what would I want to see? Well at this point, nothing, I stopped playing in February 2016. But back in the time, I would had liked to be able to achieve large goals with short stretches of time, like building a model kit IRL, one piece at a time. FAI, when CCP upgraded station models before the structures upgrade, I thought about letting players rebuild the stations by delivering contracts to NPCs for faction standings and LP rewards, and having their name displayed in a station log. Station models would be replaced as players ârebuiltâ them, and so everybody would have a chance to leave a footprint in New Eden. This was inspired by how was built a notorious church in my city, with guild members carrying stones on t heir backs to supply the stonemasons and save the cost of transporting the stones in ox carts. So now, looking at the church, you know that those stone walls are the doing of anonymous guild members who contributed their physical effort as beasts of burden. And can figure the pride they would have, saying âthose stones, I carried them on my back! This church is mine too!â.
That was just an idea many years ago. Grinding for a tangible goal and reward, rather than grind to test a new ship or a new tactic against the same missions. Without PvP advantages, purely for PvE and intreacting with NPCs.
Think of what EVE could have been if CCP just had appreciated highseccers a bit better.
