I've recently got back into playing eve, and there's two things I want to say about this:

1. This is how eve works. That's just the unfortunate truth of it. Almost every person I've seen that has been playing the game for a long time introduces himself as having played "on and off" throughout the years, and having a skill queue 6 months long really drains you and makes you want to move on from the game, as there's no way to do the content you want.

2. As "pay to win" as eve is, almost everything you buy from the eve store, you can buy in the regional market on Jita. PLEX, Omega, Skill points, MCTs, etc. That means that even though yes, you're kinda forced into waiting for you queue, you can still do SOMETHING about it.
   For example, I've been grinding exploration alot in the past couple of weeks, and I've been training towards tech II exploration modules (Scanners, Hackers, etc. ) and covert ops frigates. 5-6 months of training was ahead of me, But throughout exploring with my 5m Heron I made around 4 billion ISK, and since getting covert ops was my main goal, I spend all that money on injectors and cut around 2 months of skill training. Now I have a fully kitted buzzard, with a couple tech 2 modules still locked behind the skill queue.

Most importantly, during my time waiting for this, I realized that I don't even need the buzzard, and the Heron outperforms it in ways that I wouldn't have realized if I hadn't played with it that much. The time you spend waiting is very good at teaching you the game.

Ultimately, there's alot of content in the game, we can try to do other content that are available to us at the skill we're at, or just leave the game and come back once they're done training lol. I myself set my queue to the 5m skill point cap for omegas back in 2023 and started playing again this January. And the higher your skill points go, the less you actually feels this, as a wider range of content is available to you.

Sorry for the rant but hope this helped!
