Umm... but at the end... you state exactly what I'm stating, "The sole reason not to include LAN is to A: combot piracy, and B: they think that whatever Bnet 2.0 is capable of, it'll be a satisfactory replacement for LAN."
There's still a cost associated with doing it, if there's a satisfactory solution, why add complexity to the process both development and use if it's simpler and easier to funnel everyone into one simple system. Development costs isn't just about money, it's about time and resources as well.
