While I don't condone DDoS attacks, the only reason for D4 to be online-only is monetization IMO: Blizzard wants to sell cosmetics, so people have to see other people wearing them. There is little gameplay benefit from being an MMO-lite.

Probably all sorts of datamining regarding the way people play also. Can't do that so easily if people are playing offline.
