Just because a product _may_ have non-infringing uses, doesn't excuse the product or company from potential litigation. Your argument has been applied to file-sharing services - I could use BT to share Linux ISOs, but we all know that there are a LOT of people who use it to trade music, videos, pron, etc. It _may_ have legitimate uses, but it also has a lot of illegitimate uses too.

At the end of the day it boils down to: Glider was designed specifically to automate the game in a way which was excluded by the TOU. Just because it may also have uses to a small subset of users doesn't modify this fact.
