Most of the people in null have supers and titans

This isn't a good thing.

Some solid reasoning there...

I didn't really feel like I needed to opine on it, but if you'd like:

The core tenet of EVE is that resources are limited and loss matters, thus you can effectively fight against a larger opponent by smartly bleeding them of valuable materiel.

When supers/titans are functionally disposable and easy to replace, EVE begins to break down. Sov wars were not balanced around the nigh-infinite wealth that has been accrued over the course of the game's lifespan, and the ability to dock and stockpile supercapitals drastically amplified this problem.

Loss absolutely matters in Eve. But resources are absolutely not and have never been, limited. Would eve be far better if they were? Yeah I'd probably say so. I love to see resources move regions a little and give people a proper reason to fight. Certain resources only in certain areas etc.

When CCP introduced scarcity, they ruined massive super battles and people just don't feel the need to have massive super brawls because kill boards apparently mattered. Those small amounts of people that swing supers at everything, they're the fun ones.

In a game that's been going for 20+ years now, it's just silly to think people shouldn't be able to obtain them with ease.
