Eh. If you count CSGO when there are no official servers I think you need to count WC3 unofficial servers as well. There are workarounds to playing old WC3 online, just not through battle.net.
Steam still connects you to custom servers, and Valve still allows you to download the server hosting software. The part that went offline- rather, moved to CS2, was the matchmaking client.
The workarounds to WC3 require you to leave Blizzard designed software to third party support. I don't recall WC3 ever having matchmaking, but the server browser and hosted game list were taken completely.
So, not for lack of trying on Blizzard's part.
