I was hoping you were gonna state reasons as to why it should be online...
No cheating (hopefully ever), easy stored information between characters, AH, and playing with others.

I have a hard time believing any sensible person would argue against the online only mode.

This is a very good option for all those players who never made it to lvl 2.

It will not prevent all cheating, there will be cheating no doubt. Heck, there has been item duping in WoW and it's all online. Don't fool yourselves into thinking becaues it is online there will be no cheating. There will be less cheating for sure, and less pirating, but it will still happen, without a doubt.

That is the best experience according to Blizz and that is why it is online. If you choose to play as single player that is your fault and no one else's. Plenty of other threads about this though.

This option is for the people, who would play an offline toon, when the EU servers are down. This solves that issue.

Why would a multiplayer game be online-only? What sort of bonuses would that incur toward actual gaming experience that couldn't be achieved with seperate characters as stated above?
Infact, as with server issues etc, even multiplayer-only types may have wanted to venture a solo character for times when servers are down/having problems, so this even detracts from potential multiplayer customer experience.
