I'm not sure I understand why not?
Since ST has decided to end service on the Dreamcast servers (with no plans for any future re-opening), I'm not sure I see the objection to finding alternative routes to continue playing a game for which someone has payed?
That's almost like saying:
since the person who invented "S'mores" doesn't mass-produce them, no one whould be allowed to distribute the recipe to make them at home.
I agree that alternative servers (GC, Xbox, or PC servers) co-existing with official ST servers is an infringement of their (Sega team's) commercial rights. However, since ST no longer supports the Dreamcast platform, I don't think I can find any moral onjection to former customers finding alternate routes.
Just my opinion.
P.S.
the locked sticky which prompted this post has this topic as a title, yet makes absolutely no reference to the subject what-so-ever within the post itself. It refers to "cheating" methods. I think that, even with a stretch of the imagination, the very topic itself of alternative DreamCast servers can not be viewed as "cheating".
