The devs don't want you to be able to out range the mobs. You must always be at risk. This is one of the reasons that blasters needed to be rebalanced with defiance 2.0 (mob ranges had been increased in previous patches so that blasters couldn't kill things at range without retaliation), that acrobatics was nerfed, the reason that boost range is no longer stackable, and the reason that rezzing Freakshow can no longer be targetted until they are able to get their free shot in on you.|

Also, why do so few sets do any sort of range increase. Esp: targeted debuffs & heals, end mods etc. |
I'm actually quite surprised that incarnates get a range boost but as far as I can tell even with that incarnate ability slotted the mobs will still out range you. Especially the Rikti.

As to the set choice: in a targeted mob, many procs role by their target. An AoE with a snipe set might have too strong an effect on the proc...and yes, I was surprised about the lack at first look. Not that it would be a big deal, but the AoE sets are already balanced by the AoE rules, so it was probably easier.
As to the whole range thing: my Arch/EM blaster is buil around range. Boost range is huge, but besides that I found frankenslotting with the damage/range HO's was pretty easy. (the damage/range can be found for very affordable rates) You lose set bonuses, but get range, so there it is. (My blaster has boost range+3 dam/rnge HO's for +120% range on all attacks, so hitting stuff from afar seems easy.)
