You are checking a box and the rationale you explained makes perfect sense as to why you are going the route you chose.
Checking the box is not meant to be offensive or off-putting... It is getting a degree that is required to continue advancement. The online LSUS program delivers on the core of teaching you new skills and granting you an accredited degree. However, it misses on the brand, networking, and career change / recruiting components that MBAs also offer.
As you explained, these things you will be missing are not what matter most to you in your value equation.

What industry are you in and what schools do yall recruit from?
I'm planning on going to business school fall 2017 but my aspirations are all over the place. Do I go to a regional school or go for a more national brand? Choices...

How are the brand, networking, and career change/recruiting components be missing if any MBA was taken online exclusively? You making it sound like people who have actually got the online MBA are not expose these components you mention.
Online education has come a long way to incorporate these elements regardless of being physically there. The future of business communications is virtual, to say the least. Businesses will do conference calls, conference videos, etc. to cut cost and save time for certain situations.
Networking can be done by virtually too by LinkedIn and various local events, which is dependent on your specialized industry.
Depending on the type of MBA that one has chosen, you can still do a career change of sorts, changing a career field is not changing the education you receive from the online MBA.
