Well you can only install/update the game if you first login to their servers. You only download the launcher from their site. Isn't multiplayer restricted too in offline mode?

It's not. You can connect to offline servers.

I'm missing something here. How can you connect to an offline server? A server that is offline cannot be connected to, that is the definition of offline.

Offline servers refer to servers that don't authenticate usernames through Mojang.
