You should rather look at it from a business perspective:
The less you rely on "perfect" internet, the more people can play and enjoy your game. So: Creating content which is unforgiving regarding the customers' internet lowers your share of the market. And this is global, not just the market of "casuals" or "kids who want easier games" or whatever.

You are the one who needs to look at it from a business perspective. If you make the game playable offline, that just opens the door for tons of cheaters like what happened to Diablo II. The game is online only for a reason and like I said, if you don't have a reliable internet connection, online gaming is most likely NOT for you. You don't need perfect internet, you just need a connection that isn't bullshit.

Well there is a big diference. When u get a dc on the normal game/mapping u just log in back and continue to do whatever ur doing. In lab what is common is not dc (isp problems) but fatal crashes and especially instance crash that is GGG fault and u lost all the progress that for newer players can be a lot of time.

Bullshit, I have run so many fucking maps and labs and I have never had this issue. It is YOUR ISP's fault, not GGG's fault. Also, because there are so many people with logout macros, they could exploit a lot more than they already do.

U dont know the diference between timeout/dc and instance crash. Instance crash u cannot join the same instance again. I had this 1 time in lab and several times on maps.

2nd time was in the last zone. Just felt the need to point out how bad the lab sucks. Thanks for reading, still would be nice if GGG culd eliminate this lab requirement for ascendancy for those of us that can't reliably load 10 consecutive instances with a high end PC.

Where did that come from? Did anyone ask for POE to be playable offline in this thread?
You're just trying to gloss over the fact that you have no arguments. Or you're just white-knighting blindly. There is bound to be a better compromise to be found with the lab vs crash and/or dc but if nobody speaks up, GGG won't know it's an issue. So white-knighting fools only hurt GGG instead of "protecting" them from user feed back.
