Op, I think you're a little confused. I can't think of a live service game that isn't a multiplayer game in some form. the required online is because that's literally what the game is.
Be mad about the scummy lootbox practices that prop it up, don't be mad that other people like online games.
I mean, there are examples where the multiplayer should be optional and thus force the game to be live service. For instance, Diablo 4 should be perfectly playable single player, offline, yet it's live service and to my understanding requires an Internet connection
"in some form," being the key part of that. Someone mentioned Diablo 4. It doesn't have to be always online. Gran Turismo 7 is another example. It's a trend.
