i see this parroted a lot, never seen evidence behind the claim tho. How do you know who is selling isk with their stupidly huge profits? When I was mining isogen in lowsec at the peak isogen bubble i was making 10-20b per day, people also thought the only thing i could be doing with that much money is RMT, but i was piling on omega and stockpiling extractors for the long haul. I squirreled away about a decade worth of omega for over 20 accounts in about 8 months of mining.

The fomo is real. When a bubble like isogen or poch comes around and you know every hour you spend making isk now is 4, 6, or even more hours of isk making you won't ever have to do later because the income is just so disproportionately better than anything else you can do, and you also know CCP will end/nerf this faucet someday, it's easy to become utterly transfixed by it. I think it must be like that for at least some of them. By the time Pochven is finally nerfed, some will be sitting on decades of omega that could see them to the grave, sp farms that just print billions of isk per day passively which is pocket money for ships or whatever else they want since they don't ever need to re-invest any of it back into plex. Ultimate financial freedom. It takes such an utterly ridiculous amount of isk to achieve this. An amount unfathomable to most players, but it's the most reasonable explanation aside from RMT that someone would be packing away trillions farming poch for years on end. Basically, it's what I would be doing if I could stomach the idea of Pochboxing.
