it seems to me that bnetd _is_ a circumvention device

Perhaps, but only incidental to its primary purpose, and only because there was no way that the bnetd developers could build an interoperable server that included Blizzard's access controls. If Blizzard had offered to provide the bnetd developers with software or a network service that could be used in the bnetd server to provide the desired access control, and the bnetd developers had refused to incorporate it, Blizzard would have had a much stronger circumvention claim.
