What the fuck. What possible reason could they have to remove LAN play? It's like they're doing it just to piss people off.

They are doin it to fight pirates.

You want to play MP, you do it on Battlenet. You don't have a legit copy, no MP...

 

Sounds smart to me..

That is probably a large reason for it.  Plus, you drive all the gaming to BNet and they can then run advertising over it.
